Critique and a Half

It's only been 3 weeks since our last critique, but we wanted to get back to our usual schedule, and it didn't stop people from bringing work, whether new or old. This time around we had 8 participants, all bringing art. Above are paintings from Edy and Jane, digitally altered photos from Vince, mixed media prints from Molly, and my current woodblock. Below are an ink drawing from Tim and a painting from Guido.

In addition to the activities there in the Studio, we took a brief field trip to the other corner of the basement. Adam had brought a variety of pieces, all part of an installation, and had set it up in an empty room. The centerpiece of the installation is that very large piece of truck tire tread (see below) hanging from a ceiling hook. We ended up having a long discussion about his elaborate multimedia plans for the project, so tonight's critique went longer than any we've had in a while. But since we always enjoy these nights, that just meant extra fun. If it wasn't for the early risers and the long distance travelers (three people drove 40 minutes or more to get here tonight) we might go longer all the time.
