Stage Doodle

 I was futzing around with large doodle pieces thinking it might work for IWOW stage set this month(layers was theme).  I wasnt sure about anything, trying to let go of stressing, playing, rearranging, re-coloring, feeling my way.  Some shapes along the way clearly were 'not right' so they got cut, reshaped. Interesting to play with scale, in terms of each piece in relationship to eachother(some needed to be smaller, some bigger, but not all the same size), negative space(love that the neg space shapes are just as interesting as painted shapes), relationship of shapes and relationship of colors. And then there was the angle of each shape in relationship to the one next to it, and how it connected or overlapped.  Then there is how its all going to be supported so it doesnt fall over on stage if a piece gets bumped.  And then there is ME, my patience/impatience/fear/curiosity, my thoughts, my behavior, rushing, taking my time, loving, worrying, uncertainty...artmaking is not for the feint of heart.  Making anything takes courage and a commitment to navigate all that MIND TERRITORY.  I left it up for IWOW last nite...and loved looking at it!!! posted 2 pics so you can see scale.
