Studio Poem: Seeing the Light (if only briefly…)
We develop studios…work spaces…work places…wherever we are.
Palatial mansion (or loft), or a place within our heads.
The sunlight hit a series of samples which themselves became works.
Another “sun” was created.
For a moment… I saw things in a whole new light.
Gotta hold on to that…
Lumens for Humans
In an increasingly technological world, there is a corresponding need for work created by hand. As humans, we respond to useful objects of wonder and beauty.
“Artissima Lumens” are hand-adorned light switch plates created custom, one at a time as art, celebration and decor.
They are created of water-borne primers, paints, semi-transparent glazes, stencils, metallic media, and varnish.
Typically, the plain plastic, or wooden plate is sanded to create texture or “tooth”. This readies the surface to receive the primer which creates a bondable surface for the painted base coat.
The surface is thus prepared for more intricate layers of adornment. Paints, semi-sheer glaze or other media are manipulated across the surface to create visual interest and an interplay of color and texture.
Color, texture, pattern and imagery can enhance, beautify, communicate, and transform our feelings and surroundings.What we surround ourselves with can make us feel more calm, energetic, stimulated, peaceful and alive.
Stenciled or hand-painted pattern and imagery establish a composition which can become playful, elegant, whimsical, retro, nostalgic or contemporary.
“Artissima Lumens” can be designed to work with other art works.
