3/11/25 ano kato, 20×18” oil on linen, as she looked following today’s transformation
12:47 PM: once again, i scraped and whited over it and commenced a new composition, inspired this time by photos i shot 3-4 years ago at the opening of an exhibition in denver. this particular gallery has an upstairs space, and from there i was able to shoot the photo i used today.
as usually occurs, the underlying layers; the scraping revealing a bit of those previous layers all contribute to an unpredictability and richness, allowing the viewer to enter the dance. the architectural rendering of space, which we can find in the original day 1 version (go to my 3/11 post) has now gained in subtlety and mystery.
