Container 2009, Artist: Liu Jianhua

Loved the two works of art combined, the visual impact. The celadon porcelain gave you a sense of beauty, in form and colour (often and antique replicas), but when you get close you see the blood red glaze that pool inside the vessels, and physically you feel repulsed and feel the impact of the artist’s intent in making a statement.

On the walls are ceramic paint globs, from gloss to matte pieces, raining down the sides of the walls. [Traces 2011]

Hello from Granville Island!

Hello from Granville Island! Can you guess where I sat to do this sketch?

This morning I hopped over to GI to do some grocery shopping and enjoy a London Fog while I did this sketch on my iPad with Paper53. It took me a few minutes to focus, being able to ignore the growing foot traffic going by me, occasionally getting bumped in the head ( woes of being short), as well as the odd curious onlookers. I’m so glad I pushed myself to do this, feeling creatively satisfied 🙂

Warmth.

From a few weekends ago, an outdoor fire pit to warm attendees of the Eagle Fest. It was a chilly day with wind chill to make it even colder. Thank goodness for this pit, the warmth, adding comraderie amongst strangers. The ambers were mesmerizing to look at… Do you get mesmerized by log fires too?

Word typography & light installation

Another fave from today’s #eastsideculturecrawl, @jl.woodwork’s fantastic word typography & light installations.

@rachael_ashe, @anneonbowen, and I were sad that we missed seeing the “Bacon” sign as it was sold and leaving the premises just as we arrived there. I highly recommend checking out both his and Rachael Ashe’s studios tomorrow! Both are located just east of Woodland Park. #eastsideculturecrawl #ecc #vancouverartists #art #artwork #craft #vancouver #igersvancouver
