New series and body of work: The Equator series - an evolution/splitting of Corner-rings

Over the past year I did a lot of reflection on the Corner-rings series. I came to some conclusions and decided on some reductions and additions. As I begin this branching off from that series, I plan to document the process and production of these paintings. Each work will consist of two stacked oil paintings on canvas, that are installed into wall corners.

The Equator series takes its name from the continuation of play of light and shadow in these corner wall paintings, like its predecessors, The Corner-rings, though it does have some relation to this and some of these... and of course them.

Below is the first of this documentation of the process and new work. I will be updating the blog with posts as I continue to work on them.

FCRS installation series: Future Space of Relative Concerns 2001/2015

For the past few weeks I have posted a new series of new/old drawings for installations to be made. Here is the 3rd in this new series of drawings, I have started calling them FCRS (Future Concerns of Relative Space). For documentation of the original "Future Concerns..." installation see this older post

FCRS installation series: Relative Concerns of Future Space 2001/2015

New/old installation: Concerns of Relative Future Space 2001/2015

Way back in 1999 I had many (Art) experiences and I also had an idea, that idea forever changed my production of Fine Art and my relation to it. The work, Future Concerns of Relative Space 1999/2001 (for more info see older work) was a dramatic change in comparison to the work I had done before that.

I had many ideas to expand this work and to use the medium of mono-filament solely in my production. This idea became some what strange as my relation to "Future concerns..." changed. Though I made some small sketches, but nothing every seemed to hold my attention.

I decided to revisit the use of mono-filament and decided to make another drawing for a proposed installation, Concerns of Relative Future Space. I might make more, I have not decided yet. I plan to install this work sometime soon in my studio, though I may have to build some new walls to accomplish this.

Since this is a sort of gray area work: being new/old I decided to display it in color.

Work in progress: new Corner-rings work

As stated on a recent Holistic For Play podcast (episode 2) I have started a new production from the Corner-rings series. I am very curious about the lighting/shadow effect, it should inform the painting on the plank in a much different way than the past Corner-rings works.
