Christina By Happy Accident, Chemists Produce a New Blue By KENNETH CHANG

Blue is sometimes not an easy color to make. Blue pigments of the past have often been expensive (ultramarine blue was made from the gemstone lapis lazuli, ground up), poisonous (cobalt blue is a possible carcinogen and Prussian blue, another well-known pigment, can leach cyanide) or apt to fade (many of the organic ones fall apart when exposed to acid or heat). So it was a plea… Continue

Christina A Distant Bauhaus Star

Margarete Heymann, who studied ceramics there from 1920 to 1921, and was as gifted and gutsy as her famous contemporaries. She also created an impressive body of work, yet is rarely mentioned in the many books, essays and exhibitions on the Bauhaus. Why? “It’s a tragic story,” said Anja Baumhoff, a lecturer in a… Continue

Terry Jarrard-Dimond COMPOSITIONAL CONVERSATION: Stage Four - Shelley Brenner Baird

This morning I posted the fourth article for a project entitled COMPOSITIONAL CONVERSATION. This project involves the development of a textile work that is started by one artist and passed from person to person until everyone has had an opportunity to contribute. This week's artist, Shelley Brenner Baird, has given us an excellent description of her work process with the piece and notes on why she made the decisions that she made. There is also a mini artist profile of Shelley and examples of h… Continue

Terry Jarrard-Dimond Stage Three: Compositional Conversation

I just posted the third installment of my online project: Compositional Conversation. The new version of the group project was revised by Beth Carney, an artist from The Big Apple. The best part of her contribution is that she had not seen pictures of the project before she received the package and she placed the work on her design wall upside down. She did not know her "mistake" until after she had completed her work so now the piece has taken a 180 degree turn. This proves that good design is… Continue

Terry Jarrard-Dimond Stage Two: Compositional Conversation and Mini Artists Profile on Rebecca Howdeshell

I have just posted a new entry on my blog: http://studio24-7.blogspot.com/ This article relates to the experience of Rebecca Howdeshell working on a piece of art which I initiated and will be worked on by 11 other artists. Her description of working on this is very articulate and I feel she has set a high standard for the artists who will follow her. I began the project: Compositional Conversation, as a way to connect with some of the artists I have met online as well as interact with some tha… Continue
