I certainly am glad I learnt to rust paper - years ago now, but over the last fourteen years I have often used it as a starting point for a piece of work.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-10483085371362414772012-06-03T15:54:23.933+10:002012-06-03T15:54:23.933+10:00Thanks Valerie - lovely to meet another Andy Golds...Thanks Valerie - lovely to meet another Andy Goldsworth fan! I too love his "Time" book best and was lucky enough to spend time with one of his clay walls in Digne le Baine after our six day walk. Just beautiful. mmmm - wish I had learnt the art of book making many many years ago as i probably would have bound many of my sketches and ideas into books. As it is, over the years and many moves, most of it is in the bin!susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-13752049929514004252012-06-03T15:51:10.779+10:002012-06-03T15:51:10.779+10:00Thanks Jennifer.

My art 'journey' this last decade or so however, had been to learn to 'undraw' and try and suggest the feeling of things rather than accurately drawing all that I see. I do find though that a background in drawing is immensely helpful even when working in the abstract - maybe even especially when working in the abstract as it lends a certain validity to the marks one makes. Not sure if that makes sense!!susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-28486403668136199902012-06-03T15:48:17.775+10:002012-06-03T15:48:17.775+10:00Hello Jill - thank you for finding your way to my ...Hello Jill - thank you for finding your way to my blog. I guess I am really still feeling my way around this blogging world - working out what the blog is for, why am I doing it etc. I think one of the unexpected results from blogging is that you start to belong to a 'tribe' of like minded artists and look forward to hearing their response to your posts. Mostly though, I think for me it is becoming a way to visually record what is happening in my studio without having to write a diary or draw a visual diary each day. Those books in the 2006 drawing a day are squares of about 13cms and though I doubt that I will post from that year again, more than likely I will resort to posting from my past art meanderings, when I have nothing new to show ....susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-66266031514971452412012-06-03T15:17:57.724+10:002012-06-03T15:17:57.724+10:00thank you for all the peeks at your sketchbooks.. ...thank you for all the peeks at your sketchbooks.. love all the textures and layers and subdued colors.. wonderful images.layershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991288165260934778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-76135955322591866372012-06-01T18:59:03.532+10:002012-06-01T18:59:03.532+10:00Hi Susan, I love your combination of paper, marks ...Hi Susan, I love your combination of paper, marks and rust - just beautiful... and your images - a visual feast!Kim Schoenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00703881713524369921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-70108169517395868842012-06-01T13:16:05.055+10:002012-06-01T13:16:05.055+10:00Thank you for sharing the book with us!

I especially LOVE the clay wall, love your image inspired by it, too. Thanks for the inspiration today... I just did a bit of binding of some old drawings, and thought what a good thing to do, cause I quite enjoy looking back at old sketchbooks, but don't do it very often, now that one or two of them are bound in a book, I do look more.Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.com
