After a morning of various errand – running / personal – admin BS, I began the Real Day with a lunch meeting / brainstorm session starring myself and the ever-inspired and energetic Richie K. He told me a bit about his new iterative photographic – photoshoppy – inkjet process and images, which sound divine, while I shared a bit more on my performative Compressionist prints – and the two seem to work very well together. Kilpert and I are starting to potentially think about two upcoming duo shows (I’d share my Outlet show with him, and he an upcoming exhibition space with me), which would display the complimentary series side by side, maybe include some collaborative efforts as well.
This lead perfectly into our excursion to see Jill Ross at the David Krut gallery and print shop. After being dazzled by Jill’s beautiful work with Wilma Cruise (shown: Jill + Wilma print + Blurry Richard), I attempted to return the dazzle with the Compressionism documentation and some images. We brainstormed through some teamwork possibilities – Jill really is a well of printmaking knowledge, as is Richie, and we’re all pretty excited by the potentials in combining our talents and work.
We ended with all kinds of collaborative printmaking seeds, and I’m hoping to work with Jill and Richie in the near future. Oooooh, I see some New Art coming on…. It’s gonna be H-O-T. Will keep you "posted."
