DOORS--A friend suggested that these color blocks resemble doors. Let's run with that.

It’s important to learn how to use your small bits of time, your five minutes, your ten minutes. All those begin to count up…Don’t wait until your children are grown…Learn how to use your snatches of time when they are given to you. – Ruth Asawa

Blobs In spring of 2020, New York City emerged as the COVID epicenter, my family was hunkered down within it. I began to form these compositions at night after putting my kids to bed. I found resonance in the words of Ruth Asawa on stealing personal moments in times of intense parenting. Over the months and long days in our house, this late night shape shifting became a retreat to both confront incoming news and find joy. Posting the work fostered connections outside our walls. Now, years post lockdown, I look for time for blobs… and sometimes they come looking for me. From Brooklyn, with love.

FIRST PRINT CLIENT: My first digital blob client illustrated the procrastination puzzle. This, the first print run, adorns a Jewish New Year card (Rosh Hashana). Text translation: Good, Sweet, New Year.

In America, we typically see the European tradition of dipping apples in honey for a sweet new year. Around the world, the pomegranate symbolizes seeds of goodness for the upcoming year. Notable in the Persian tradition (among others).

Two print runs for two distinct clients. I learned from the two prints that blobs read better in glossy (not matte).

A sweet and good year however you may engage with this post.

🔼 I take breaks from posting when nothing new comes. A little TLC from my parents and change of scenery leads to new ideas.

JUST DANCE

At a formal party last weekend, someone asked what I do in my spare time. In hindsight, she was just making conversation. I told her I doodle, among other things, and pulled out my phone. Needless-to-say she has no interest in scrolling. Lesson learned… no doodle talk at parties. Just dance.

🌱 PLANT

I tend to keep the compositions abstract but occasionally go super literal. I present a spring plant. Midnight black leaves. #midnight

🗓️ #April

THIS MONTH in the Josef Albers calendar we see this lush 1967 screenprint.

I’m blobbing my way through the 2023 wall calendar featuring Albers’ Homage to the Square series. #joinme

This piece does feel like digging in the dirt to start our spring plants. It works.

For 25 year, Albers painted squares. Four months in and I’m already decorating with dots. So it goes.
