'Dots & Broken Rules'

Well, here it is:

Dots & Broken Rules, 2011, mixed media on mounted panel

The finished product for the 6th Annual Portland Love Show, delivered on Saturday with excitement and relief.  

This marks the end of six months of production mode and the beginning of new discoveries, play time.  I am like a sponge soaked with ideas and writing page after page after page...images, spaces (like Emerson Street's Space Case and Settlement Galleries downtown) and inspiring artists- new discoveries to me like Katherine Mann and old locals like those in the Intuition Show- are fueling me with ideas for projects that needed a little bit more clarity. I don't know where to begin, there is so much freedom now that I don't have to prioritize by deadlines.  

I'll start by 'getting my social on' at Saturday's opening reception, potluck and cocktail style, meet and greet style at Gallery Homeland, on SE 11th just south of Division.  It should be more than your average opener event (if nothing there will be more artists per square inch!), so I hope to see some familiar faces there.  Until then...
