November 8th, the Arts Center of the Ozarks is hosting their 10th Annual 5 by 5 show. This is the piece that I have donated for their auction.

The New "Invisible Thread"

For several years, I have had a dilemma on where I wished my "Invisible Thread" painting to go. I completed the 6' x 12' piece and many years later decided to break down the original composition into 5" strips. Simultaneously, I struggled with where to take my photography since I currently do not have a dark room and am not particularly gravitated towards Photoshop. Naturally, I had several artistic dilemmas to conquer. 

Recently, I decided to embrace abstraction not only in my painting but in my photography. I have experimented with arranging countless compositions of the strips and documenting it using photography. Not only do I have the capability of creating new composition arrangements, I also can alter the hues and saturation of the photographs. I started with a completed painting that was then broken down, rearranged and altered with photography. What started with one piece, has now resulted in multiple new artworks that continues to grow in numbers.
