So the LDS International Art Competition has come around again. I've been wanting to submit something for the past several years and have just never gotten around to it. This is the year. I'm going to do it.
But I've had a hard time deciding for sure what media I want to focus on. So for those of you who have seen my linocuts, books, or sculptures (like lanterns) I'd like some opinions on what you think I should do. I've been thinking about creating maybe some kind of lantern tree using cutouts of linocuts for the lantern faces, or maybe a pop-up book. Whatever I do, I will definitely be incorporating prints, so keep that in mind as you chime in.
Also, the theme this year is "Make Known His Wonderful Works". And I want to know what "wonderful works" you'd like to have made known. I'll be depicting a bunch of different things and I want to know what works (or stories, things, places, people, events) mean the most to the people who mean the most to me.
Thanks in advance for your input. I'll keep you posted with pictures of how the project is going!
Yay! Welcome to the blogosphere! We look forward to spying on you soon.
ReplyDeleteYou ought to post some samples of some of your work. I haven't seen any for a long time. After that, I'd love to cast a vote on a project...
ReplyDeleteThe most wonderful work I can think of is that Christ saved you. And me. And my brothers. And my sisters. My mom and dad. Forlorn and shifty as we are, we don't have to look far for the miracle. Maybe you should put my portrait on all the prints with the legend: "How is it done?" inscribed or otherwise inserted in the works.
ReplyDeleteI think popups are pretty cool. I think that would be a good submission. Have you ever seen the book "The Elements of Pop-Up" by Carter/Diaz? My professor loaned it to me. It's pretty cool and describes the many elements of pop-up (but that goes without saying.)
