Through this experimentation, I've discovered that I like to work intuitively, relying a lot on the power of synchronicity, while still expressing myself through design, composition and colour. Hope you enjoy.
I meant to upload the contents of my first art journal long before now but there always seems to be other stuff to do or that needs to be done! I'm sure you can relate. But I finally did it and the images are over there, in the Visual Journals link. It was an interesting process for me because during the whole process of scanning, cropping and uploading, I got to see the patterns and progression of the work (or is it play?) over and over again. Taken as a whole, rather than as separate, one-off pages, the themes and variations quickly became visible. The journal is a story and each page contributes to the whole.

Gah! I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. Cardinal sin in the blog world and a sure way to lose readers. I know this. I do. But if you're still with me, I'm grateful and hopefully, the wait for some new images will be worth it for you. I haven't done much sketching I'm afraid, or much of anything using a pen, pencils, paint, glue, paper, etc. But I had a great summer and lots of photos to show for it. One of these days, I may even add a Photos page and post some of the good ones. In the meantime, I've added a couple of sketches. And I spent tonight scanning pages from one of my visual journals. Sometime in the next few days, I'll upload a selection of my favorites. On Monday, I head back to the Edmonton Potters' Guild for another season of clay work. Can hardly wait to get myself muddy! And I pray to the kiln gods to smile upon my work this year :-) I never know, when a piece goes into the kiln, what will come out. I'll take pictures of the pieces that have been kissed by the fire and show you. But that's a few weeks away. |
Welcome to my occasional posts
My name is Yvonne Rezek. This is a blog about what my hands are up to. Mostly sketches and drawings, some of my pottery, maybe even some knitting.
