Notes on "Cross Section" + "Comfort"
Every Day Drawing is Carianne Mack Garside's plan on how to keep herself, a new mom, artist and teacher active in the studio throughout 2011. Small drawings, often done with her newborn son on her lap in the morning, attempt to weave together physical observations of the natural world, journaling about being said mom, artist and teacher, and formal discoveries in abstraction. Some drawings may be covered in drool, but somehow, she WILL draw every day.
The images included in this collaborative pages are:
- cross section of my day (Jan 15)
- comfort (Jan 19)
-
our worlds (Feb 6)
Inspired by Carianne's effort, Susan Gibb committed to writing a short story each day in sync with the tone and mood of Carianne's artwork at 365 Days 365 Stories. It is interesting to see the interpretation not only by artist, but by the influence of the day that brings out a story. While they've worked on projects before, 100 days of work produced during the summers of 2009 and 2010, this is the first attempt to complete a year's worth of work daily. Both are inspired by nature and the rapport is often obvious.
Steve Ersinghaus had worked with Carianne on 100 Days Projects since 2008 in both poem and story form and was asked to collaborate once again as a tribute to the ease and creative energy that circulates among artists working together. With the eyes of a poet he has woven a blanket that ties the forces of language and visuals together in beautiful form.
