I'm finding that to be true of Teesha Moore's work lately, specifically her current journal pages. I've known about her for a couple+ years now, and while I always thought it was cool & clever and her style has definitely evolved over those years, it is currently speaking to me in a really LOUD and deep and personal way all of a sudden.
Like I want to crawl into each & every journal page & wander through the words & whirls & whims, climb over the images & perch myself between the patches of patterned paper.
(random sidenote: have I mentioned how much I freakin' LOVE alliteration?)
I'm not sure what it is--I think part of my recent creativity slump is me wanting to branch out from my standard assemblage a bit, but not entirely sure in what direction or how far I want to venture. But what I do know is that lately I have been mesmerized by Teesha Moore's work...I wish I could see them in real life (i.e. not just thru a computer screen). I'm so glad I decided to revisit her work after browsing by it too fast over the years.

I agree, I love Teesha's work. I worked with her in a class in Fort Warden WA at an ARTfest a few years ago. Wow, she's pretty amazing yet very laid back! Taking Amelia's class and even so quick into it, I'm loving it. I see you get to Austin a bit (I've visited those pink port-a-potties!). Give me a shout if you come again, and we can meet for coffee. Love meeting other artists.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat--small world full of pink port-o-potties!!! :)
ReplyDeleteam glad to read that you're slowly getting out of your funk.one can be stuck there indefinitely but i find doing something spontaneous such as taking a belly dance class can help re-energization. it helped me!
ReplyDeletethose collages look awesome, i could never make collages work.
ps i love alliterations as well. they can be pretty clever sometimes!
Found your blog today...and I love it! Your pages are amazing!
