Starting to gesso some new canvases....getting my motivation ramped up to work on some truly personally expressive pieces that represent what I want to see in my body of work....really trying to concentrate on what I love in others works, or what excites me or moves me...and try to look internally and adapt that to my own specific individual composition and style...in my earlier work/photography from school I was really moved by portraiture of women and I found a lot of influence from death photography, I loved the textures of the material used on the garments, or lining of coffins, a lot of young women that had passed were buried in their wedding dresses which I found so morbidly beautiful....I still tend to gravitate towards the macabre and dark, but I really love it when beauty is revealed through it...so that is the direction I am headed in now....I intend to really explore deeply into that aspect of my work and try to make some pieces I can really be proud of...
