January Path to Passion
TIP OF THE MONTH
January brings with it a whole new round number! 2020! Wow, here we are!
I definitely feel an energy shift. . .and this is one of urgency. . .the urgency to update the path to passion. This passion clearly has a unique meaning to each of us. For me, that path continues to be interactive outdoor installations. It’s important to me that people can interact with art. Influence can be felt when interacting, rotating, moving an art piece. New stories are created, told and shared. . .This excites me.
. . .and with all that going on in the world. . . there truly is no time like the present moment. . .
Now there is also this phenomena that there is only so much time in the day. . .how can we double it? Automation and getting help is key. . .this is something that I too am learning all about. . . I have just created a broadcast (that i am the only one able to post messages) whatsap group, for the pop-up painting workshops. . . in order for fast, direct communication. Let me know if you would like to join these pop ups and want to be in the group.

Play Sculpture installation got grant funding from the Amsterdam Fonds voor de Kunst! YAY!!! It is an interactive piece. This sculpture installation will happen at NDSM Fuse 20th February is the opening and after at Molenpad, in the outdoor space next to the waiting area for physiotherapy. They will be cardboard figures that the public can interact with. The Instagram hashtag for this project is #playartamsterdam .
Freedom Sculpture installation Is a big installation that I, along with two other artists were invited to create our own pitch on. It is about a new art installation for Amsterdam Nieuw West! I was the second runner up for this project. . .should it not work out with the other artist piece. . .

OUR EXERCISE THIS MONTH:
Decluttering your painting . . .
- Scribble scrabble. . .and paint on paper and make a ‘mess’.
- With white paint, or glue and white paper, start to cover over lines, shapes, colors that you don’t need any more.
- Rotate the paper around and relook to see if there are more shapes that you don’t need.
- Maybe you could even combine some shapes.
- Keep going until you have reached the essence of your painting. What do you notice?
- Like to share? Post your art and findings on https://www.facebook.com/ateliermolenpad1/ . . .or Contact me for more on this topic.
