I truly enjoy working at the gallery with the other artists. It's great to bounce off ideas with others who see things differently. You can come up with some great ideas, makes you think outside of your own box! I guess we all tend to stay within our safe confines of doing what we always do. So it is definitely a good thing to get one's self out of that rut, so to speak.
I worked last Thursday at High Hand Gallery with another artist, Kim, who makes jewelry out of actual 'hardware' pieces (i.e., washers, lock nuts, chain, etc.) and it looks fabulous. And Thursday was her day for sales. It just seemed as though people would walk in and head straight to her jewelry. She also makes artwork out of discarded computer pieces incorporating them into a picture with some visual effects (photos) manipulated on the computer. She is also a 'teaching artist' working at various schools who receive grants for art. So she was bouncing off ideas for me that I could possibly do. Toning my Black and Whites is something I'm anxious to try out for one, and possibly layering of multiple photos as she had suggested for me.
There are so many options to experiment with: papers, toners, transfers - I hope I have enough time for all of them!
