Susan McCarrell - My thoughts digress and I think of numerous times I’ve scooped up shiny wet rocks on the beach and been captivated by their beauty. Unfortunately, when I have tried taking them home, they tend to dry off, become dull and not that interesting. It turns out there is more going on in these moments than just wet rocks. The elements need to relate; the glistening sun, the ocean breeze, the salty smell, while not part of the picture, they bring the moment to life. “Yes, that is how I feel about this piece, I am not sure how the pieces will get moved around or if they will ever come together as more than what they are right now,” says McCarrell. I feel privileged that she shares with me the excitement of an artist approaching a new work. Nearing the end of our conversation, the sparse guidance of McCarrell’s father has taken on much depth and dimension. It is a pleasure to enjoy McCarrell’s work from this angle, where time and personal connectivity is mixed up with the tactile creativity of a curious girl mixing media, painting, sculpting and collaging until she finds that moment when it all relates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633115513670-9MFU29XU6LP5V6Z509M0/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.09.30+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan McCarrell - Susan MaCarrell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633115757742-WB3YZE61Z2GJ64MS6LWL/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.09.55+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan McCarrell - As we come to the end of our conversation, she shows me a raw canvas scattered with materials relating to a trip to Italy. Sheer ribbons pass over textured paper, she loves the veiling effect but is not sure how she is going to make it work. Shavings of clay are among her materials which she plans to reconstitute as a form of paint, and thermal paper activated by different sized irons await transformation by the artist’s hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633115545986-SDZ8V2DRC5OQFV6ORQ3E/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.09.07+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan McCarrell - “Make sure it all relates,” says Susan McCarrell. These are words of advice she remembers her father giving her before going on job interviews. I enjoy how the words hang in the air without any explanation, but I have always believed random statements blurted out near the beginning of a conversation are signals of important themes about to unfold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633115600186-HGKT8AE9K1FYUVUSL4AX/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.09.19+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan McCarrell - McCarrell’s work speaks to a tactile curiosity, one she developed as a child growing up in Winnipeg, a hub for garment manufacturing in Canada. She loved the long aisles stacked with bolts of fabrics and fancy threads, and was proud to wear her homemade swimsuit and formal dress to graduation. Today she calls herself a process driven multi-disciplinary artist, decades later her work reflects a process similar her childhood. To encourage creativity, McCarrell joyfully loses herself in an exploration of materials. She shows me an example of a panel of paper coated with so many layers it has curled and taken on the texture of leather. Next, she unrolls a long narrow strip of canvas used to test different wetting agents and how they react to various mediums. Pigments bleed on the canvas to achieve a watercolor effect but with a much tougher texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633115644770-O8RCV4QXXE9H90RYW2M5/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.09.30+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan McCarrell - After leaving Winnipeg in her teens, and spending several years in Vancouver, McCarrell is now a full-time artist living in the interior of British Columbia where a diverse climate and topography give way to skiing, boating, wine touring and the high vibrations of the desert. While curiosity and creativity move her in numerous divergent directions, she still manages to follow her father’s advice and create a body of work that “relates”. Her aesthetic is distinctly muted, as if stained or discolored by time, while form and composition are caught in a constant state of emerging. Her approach, mainly based in abstraction and materiality, builds a world that appears ruled by the subconscious. She speaks of her art practice as a meditation, as if her pieces originate in the quiet mind and are then worked into existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633115707168-EKD12XPT2KRV8FVJIHRG/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.09.42+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan McCarrell - In spite of the ethereal textures of her work, she also ventures into a bold depiction of faces. Strong, well-defined markings still manage to achieve a muted effect, as if these faces are appearing like a photo images developed in the dark room, on the verge of coming into full focus. I love her faces and I am surprised to hear they are a more recent addition to her exploration, and that she is somewhat diffident to them. This particular conversation reminds me how important it is for an artist to have an audience from time to time. It turns out McCarrell loves social media and has no shortage of conversation regarding her work. While tinkering with setting up an online store, she has found people simply direct message her. “I treat my Instagram following like a community and I end up having the best conversations,” she says. As a result, she has shipped her art all over the world. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-nxreh monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633122218153-OBQEZ496HYRQCMJJ4CAU/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+2.50.26+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green - “What I love about creating my work is the possibility I encounter, to conjure something that I know wouldn’t otherwise exist,” says Green. “Her world explores an expanse of often androgynous characters hanging in a dreamy white space. Stylized androgyny and her use of the word “binary” led me to ask about her own sexual identification. She is happy to talk about the subject since she says she is seriously stripping down the systemic issues sexuality and gender to examine what are the recurring sources of her own attraction. She presents herself as an attractive young woman but takes nothing for granted. Her thinking is alive, and the conversation hypnotic. Talking to her, I find myself in touch with this “in-between” space where the relevance of our private anatomy crumbles to the ground. Her desire to create from this space aligns with the freedom she finds available there. Spontaneously, we burst into laughter at which point I better understand the non-binary gender identification than ever before, as quite simply a rejection of conventional male and female role playing. At this point I feel like I am living in her world. Suddenly she breaks the giddy laughter with what I believe is her most encompassing artist statement. “What it all comes down to… all that really matters... is kindness…to others and to the self.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633122268729-VJC9ZU5LLSU7V95QNWTH/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+2.50.43+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green - On that note, Green wants to talk about the public art installation she did in 2019 in the east village, a diverse urban neighborhood in Calgary, Alberta. Her installation involved 13 participants, each given their choice of one of Green’s masks. Within a context of art therapy, she photographed the participants wearing her masks, allowing the anonymity of working behind a mask gave participants an opportunity to step into that ambiguous space where new aspects of themselves could be revealed, shared and accepted with kindness. It is clear Katie Green is drawing from a deep well, but next I want to talk about the actual artwork she produces, namely her watercolor paintings and masks. I introduce the idea of textiles as it relates to her mask making and the history of women returning to their matrilinear crafts as a means of creating inroads to the art world. At thirty years thirty one of age, she still feels challenged by breaking down barriers but she is equally concerned with the courge needed to take up space. “As a woman it is still an intimidating thing for me. Definitely creating helps me to intimately connect with myself as the hand work involved in my mask making is a calming preparation to stand up, be seen and heard as an artist, but I keep having to remind myself that it is OK to take up space.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633122047657-3KKEF6VNWP1NCAHIXMC8/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+2.49.35+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green - Green reaches beyond current trends of contemporary art to examine the very way we embody our sense of self, how we animate our bodies, and inhabit our skin. Her work is about unbridled self-expression, or perhaps it is more true to say it is about the unbridling the already expressed self. “There is a lot of emotional processing and paying attention to synchronicity in my work,” she says. “It took a while to build the trust to work from a purely internal place, but when I do, the result is so pleasing.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633121909758-ZA8XXXL6O6M123PJB7FB/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+2.49.10+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green - Day 7 introduces artist Katie Green. At this point, I hope you are following along day by day because my conversation with Green digs deeper into the realm of discovery than any previous day. Our conversation builds upon, most notably, the women’s issues discussed with Helena Wadsley, who walked us through some of the feminist movements that have fostered recognition for women in fine art. In many ways it is the artist's job to either reject or advance the artistic ideals that precede them. At thirty-one years of age, Katie Green is the youngest artist we have met so far, and the issues we discuss are those of a new generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633121801462-N2VYMXYVEU025WDXHGE9/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-10-01%2Bat%2B2.55.30%2BPM.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green - Katie Green “I love these small portraits artist, Katie Green, describes as little prompt for human connection.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633122397356-71SAP89LF1C68R0BJE19/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+2.51.25+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green - And then there are her watercolors, where she is most prolific as an artist. She loves the precision and unpredictability of ink on paper. Her paintings start by wetting the paper, randomly dropping ink, and waiting for the image to show up. Unpredictability drives the liminal quality of her imperfect figures that seem to appear from the ethers. As she describes her method, I picture my favorite painting I have seen so far. One of her characters with extra-long arms is depicted from the waist up - its most prominent feature, its nipples. Should Katie Green be the artist I decide to add to my collection this month, I believe this nipple figure is the one I would choose. I am sure there is much we can read into based on my choice, and there is much we can read into Green for having created it, but talking to Katie Green it is clear that none of it really matters unless it is born out of kindness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633122154330-SCN2FC32AOX5ZFVFQGGG/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+2.49.54+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green - She started working on character portraits in 2018. Over a period of months, she created one to five paintings per day, watching the visual landscape of her emotions become revealed. When she eventually stepped back and stood before her collection of invented characters, she found herself wanting to know more about them. She began making masks in their likeness, wearing them, and exploring how they might move. Her art practice now includes an effort to embody each character as a means of learning more about them. “People have deep emotional responses to my characters, making them great entry points to discussing the various narratives people are going through. These characters are like little prompts for human connection,” she says. Katie Green’s curiosity is unstoppable. She further wants to know the kind of work her characters might engage in and their personality quirks. Like any committed artist, her work eventually becomes about world building or mind-mapping as Green calls it. When I asked what words she might uses to describe her world of characters, she replies, “open, between binaries, and full of potential. It’s a transformative place they all share,” she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/91995e91-8713-4fca-8e56-e61de08b045f/2.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green "Soul Rider" - Acrylic Ink on Paper - 30'“ x 48” - $3750 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/2e6f3f17-ee9e-4a7c-b9ea-bc2d7b7a30e9/3.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green "Go Inside, You Are Everything" - Acrylic Ink on Paper - 22'“ x 30” - $2200 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/aeca2a71-dbbf-4cca-865a-96befb6892eb/4.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green "Holding" - Acrylic Ink on Paper - 24” x 40” - $3050 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/b2c7d2e4-2ebc-4bbb-b5e9-f500f8ab8046/5.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green "Lovers" - Acrylic Ink on Paper - 30'“ x 48” - $3750 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/7be505d3-77c9-49b0-bc3a-5d81b1bd6f6d/1.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green "Practice Revealing Yourself" - Acrylic Ink on Paper - 22'“ x 30” - $2200 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/b3d0048c-18db-48e2-87d9-9b0974e3d0ce/6.png 30 Day Gallery - Katie Green "Resilience" - Acrylic Ink on Paper - 22'“ x 30” - $2550 CDN https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3 monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633113901025-T47KPGAVJKFUMXL20MQT/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.39.13+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - Helena Wadsley is my chosen artist for Day 6. She marks a deliberate pivot from my random selecting of artists toward a focus on women in art. Ironically, when I originally thought of the artist around me, they were all women. Next thing I knew, when I started taking things more seriously, the majority of artists surfacing were men. As a teacher of art at Langara College and Emily Carr, Wadsley observes the same reflected in classrooms. “Students are about 75% women, but when you get to gallery representation, that ratio reverses.” But with her showing of a recent work, Smokestack, opening in New York this month, running through February, Helena Wadsley is part of a movement of women in art who are changing things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633113774801-CUG0XQI7NXX4JH8SJCCI/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.41.54+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - Helena Wadsley “Today marks a shift in our 30 day journey to focus on women who have turned to matrilineal traditions involving textiles to build inroads to the world of fine art.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633114061947-X7I1WVIA5Q04TF3WNFZN/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.39.29+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - It is an exciting accomplishment, but our conversation quickly shifted triggered by her passion for materials. “I was interested in what paper could do beyond hanging it on a wall. For example, if you crumple it, it becomes stronger.” She proceeded to share with me how during Covid-19 she challenged herself to 100 days of weaving. During that time, she applied the cross hatching pattern to paper and was surprised how well the woven material could stand up. “And the squares reminded me of brick”, she said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633114308698-NK37XJCOKOF7Q0P8NNMQ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.40.49+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - Pricing for painstakingly slow, hand stitched works rarely rewards a woman’s labor beyond minimum wage, but the rare exception does exist. Judith Scott, Faith Ringgold, and Sheila Hicks are examples of artists whose work with textiles can fetch hundreds of thousands per piece. Such art stardom rarely comes to those that deliberately seek it and Wadsley is playing the long game, sticking to the work, and investing herself one artwork at a time. I am personally fascinated by Wadsley's pieces inspired by anatomical illustrations by male artists depicting female reproductive organs. As artistic statements go, I would say she sends out a clear message. “When it comes to reproduction and female anatomy, men are more likely to get it wrong,” she says, “even Leonardo Da Vinci." I am amazed to look at Wadsley’s hand-knit and quilted uteruses that mock medical illustrations of the time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633114260394-0ESMLH1H9T1F4I53F690/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.40.31+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - “My mother spent every spare minute knitting,” she says. Wadsley now understands the meditative effects of repetitive stitching a garment together or in her case creating an art piece. “Slow speed and repetition draw you into a soothing state of mind, as a result, the measures of success can be different for a woman who has learned to slow down," she says. Wadsley’s own measure of success is not commercially driven although she is thrilled when she sells her work. She is more motivated by her work being seen and her messaging received. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633113990125-YC6XSPWWQ8KQ6Z29308U/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.39.53+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - “The tradition of painting really is its own thing, with a strong patriarchal history women have had to bump up against.” It started in the 70’s, a feminist movement in which woman looked to their own matrilinear traditions was a means of changing the game entirely. They focused on textiles; weaving, knitting, needlepointing and embroidery with ideas of these skills moving from the realm of arts and crafts to inhabiting space in the world of "more serious" fine art. Today the movement has picked up speed, which is not to say the excitement around contemporary art is now dominated by women, but rather what is viewed as "serious art" has given up significant territory to mixed media, sculpture and installation work involving textiles. When Helena Wadsley answered a call for submissions for works on paper to the Atlantic Gallery in New York City for example, she submitted her handwoven smokestack made of strips of paper. It won the distinction of a New York gallery showing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633114358674-CKW8L0N60534C5E5KKKV/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.41.10+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - As we come to the end of our discussion, I am happy to hear that Helena Wadsley does in fact have several art works for sale. It is also encouraging to hear her drive to sell work does exist. "The proceeds from selling work can actually fuel where I want to go next," she says. "Large scale, public installation work!" For a moment practical thinking begins to question her, then I remember Wadsley's passion for materials and her diligent research. I also remember that one of my criteria for buying art is wanting to invest in the artist's trajectory of thought and creativity. And at that I respond with enthusiasm, "I'll have what she's having". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633114163113-3XAHGEZE1RBSPJS3BLRL/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.40.11+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - One hundred days of weaving drew Helena Wadsley into a contemplative state of mind where she was considering her own sense of place, including where she came from. Her parents immigrated to Canada and her father grew up in a town known for silk weaving - the factory is now a textiles museum. What she remembers most about her visit to her parents’ hometown was the Mulberry trees where the silkworms lived and the tall smokestacks. She knew her family history but did not feel the emotional connection. Her weaving became a simultaneous practice of emotionally connecting to her past, and ancestral roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633114200431-I5BFZBJFVWHGKFDU2KCX/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.40.20+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley - Trees (possible stand-ins for ancestral trees) are a recurring theme in Wadsley’s work, along with women’s issues including reproductive rights and female anatomy. All these themes are explored though what she calls “slow labour”, a movement that includes craftism (cross stitching feminist statements into clothing) and yarn bombing (knitting sleeves for trees or quilting, weaving or crocheting yarn and fabric into a chain link fencing) as a response to incredibly damaging effects of “fast fashion”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/87cdcc8d-0c12-4631-8bd9-2b971d847a89/2.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley "You Asked For It, St. Ambrose" 2018, found book and textiles (book printed in 1885, St Ambrose was the Bishop of Milan in the 4th century and a strong advocate for celibacy perpetuating the notion that women’s sexuality. even though necessary for procreation, was sinful) 12x32x20cm $250 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/26a6b84c-594b-40d5-a223-e7a07675f930/3.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley "Da Vinci’s Uterus" 2019, Italian wool 14x30x30cm $200 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/731c0523-ef7f-4a30-9df0-9913fc2ca158/1.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley "Mary Maxi(m) Pad" 2020 - found knitwear, found doily, fabric, knitting needles, sanitary pads, yarn 35x30x30cm $380 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/69bac895-e4f5-4894-89d1-c5c8733e0840/4.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley "Guido’s Uterus" 2019, fabric 72x22x22cm $220 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/a739764a-db77-413e-b419-067f0f66b9c5/5.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley "Transfiguration" 2018, arm-knit disposable plastic fencing 300x330cm $1500 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/7127c78b-a3b1-46e2-a1a0-8d51024aae8e/6.png 30 Day Gallery - Helena Wadsley "Norway" 2020, wool and pigment on canvass 56x76cm $800 https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633116314647-H8GQ62L41RFCJGE5SDDF/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.24.46+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe - Rachel Ashe “I love the idea of hanging Rachel Ashe’s work in my hallway so its calming effect can wash over me every time I move from room to room.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633116494520-M7O7C28RD25MEF76Y8DJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.19.33+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe - Ashe works in the tech industry alongside her art practice, continuing in the realm of what she describes as slow, tedious, and highly detailed work in Admin and Operations. “I think it is part of my personality. I have a loud mind, so detailed work helps suspend my thoughts. Even bookkeeping can be a meditation for me,” she says. But she also recognizes the limitations of the computer screen and we both agree that sitting behind a screen seems to limit the pleasure and satisfaction of otherwise mind balancing work. “It’s just not the same,” she said. She began to moving away from photography over the past ten years, which also involved many hours behind the screen, in favor of more tactile work with her hands. Ultimately, she left her job too and now focusses full-time on her paper cutting. “It is every artist's dream to focus full time on their art,” she says. Rachel Ashe’s dream is coming true. She now works out of a studio a studio at 1610 Clark Drive in Vancouver where clients visit and buy her work. “I take lots of inspiration from textile design as well as the processes of paper cutting. I work in a modular way to create larger pieces of art from multiple smaller pieces, in the same way one would create a quilt or other textile piece work. Its definitely my approach to making installations.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633116657369-Y87R7XHVX82VCR6FXUF3/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.20.14+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe - Behind her is a partially complete, eight-panel installation. Four of 16”x20” panels are done and hang on the wall. “I created all of these in December. That was a very productive month for me,” she says. The work will take another productive month to complete, but I can already see it will be a dramatic piece. “I think it is very calming to look at too,” she says. And it is true, there is something about the combination of her slow, and tactile work with paper that bring that meditative quality to life- the same quality that is central to all the work Ashe finds herself drawn to. “People usually look to the artist for either unpaid labor,” she says with an ironic smile, “and for something uplifting and positive.” With this statement Rachel Ashe speaks to the heart of what I am doing this month with the ThirtyDayGallery – looking at the often intangible value of bringing artwork home, the positive and uplifting effect Ashe refers to. I imagine those eight panels she is currently working on in a prominent hallway in my home. I love the idea of this calming energy washing over me every time I move from one room to another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633116629227-7KKR23I81W0XQS7KC60S/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.20.04+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe - There are numerous applications for her work in the area of design which brings our conversation back to technology and the use of laser cutting. “It is true my work is time consuming and therefore has its limitations,” she says. “But people always think machines are better than humans. They are not. I am a better cutter than a machine,” she says. Then there is the programming required to teach the machine to cut Ashe’s designs. She describes the process and it sounds like she has more highly detailed work on her hands. “A laser cutter is just a tool which I may begin to use more often for speed, and to scale-up my work, but it can never replace me,” she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633116547765-ICBSE1WYX1WOLTQEKYZB/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.19.45+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe - The largest of Ashe’s installations, Flight Path/ Taking Flight, is approximately 15’ x 6’, a site specific piece that was suspended from the ceiling of the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, in a 2014 exhibition. Five to Six hundred paper wings were fastened together hung with wire. I try to picture the installation and can only imagine how it might have interacted with light, and cast shadows, growing the impact of the work exponentially. “Yes, shadows are a big part of my work. They give the work depth and with the 2D framed pieces, the shadow makes it clear to the viewer that what they are viewing is intricately cut paper.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633116410964-2ZIR84MME0L93ETPQFTO/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.19.19+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe - The artist for Day 8 is Rachel Ashe. Originally from Ontario, with formal training in the Creative Photography program at Humber College. Her most inspiring job as a photographer was at the Textiles Museum of Canada in Toronto where she worked for three and a half years to digitize their permanent collection. As an example, she recalls documenting their collection of handcrafted Chinese children’s hats designed to protect children from evil spirits, a craft known as Aninakis. Her extensive exposure to handcrafted textiles in the Textile Museum collection is a major influence on her work with paper today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/83e6c0fc-6e72-46af-a309-e2fbc4dc4c40/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.21.10+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe Hand-cut paper Framed, 16”x12” Price: $575 CDN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/aae4dc48-3902-4893-b2e9-e0c4b7f1d61b/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.20.57+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe Hand-cut paper Framed, 24”x18” Price: $800 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/87d1a37c-6e78-4fe6-9246-f226c39c1b1d/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+1.21.30+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Rachel Ashe Hand-cut paper Framed, 20”x16” Price: $600 CDN https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-wpcbe monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633127421137-6P7DJW64L8RN1XYCNU5O/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.29.52+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sharon Huget - Sharon Huget “This art has a purpose. To bring contemplative beauty to your home.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633127799814-8Q5QLZ1FJKZ2JVXIJTHL/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.28.41+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sharon Huget - When Sharon Huget’s first child was born, she said she suddenly she had less and less time but her painting became more and more urgent. She made time, stuck with her practice, and today speaks of the many cycles of life she has been through and how they have all found their place on the canvass. As a result, her work is timelessly, beautiful and meant to be lived with. “It all about understanding the purpose of your art,” she says. Sharon often shows her work in the biannual Fraser Valley Biennale exhibition at The Reach Gallery Museum. She talks about her endless interest in the different co-exhibitors at the event. “I enjoy it all, I always look at the public art, but different kinds of art have different purposes. The purpose of my art is clear. I paint for the home and office,” she says. She shows her work at design shows too, collaborates with interior designers and pays attention to decor trends. “That is where I find the most joy,” she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633127633696-6X8MAFJU4GCCJOZU9658/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.28.03+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sharon Huget - Day 13 brings us Sharon Huget as part of an exploration of contemporary abstraction in art. “As an artist I am visually greedy,” she says. “I love, and want everything.” I know exactly what she means. Art makes me greedy too, it gives me bold, embracing, I want it all, feelings for life. “I love the ambiguity of abstraction and think of my own work as being “ish”. I am not motivated by certainty,” she says. When we discuss the feminist movements behind the textile artists explored in days 6-10, she says she does not feel separate from the ideas, but adds, “I don’t approach the canvass that way, with something clear I want to say. I pay attention to what is emerging inside, where my voice speaks in terms of “ish”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633127710934-OSA1XC36LKOXW5SVNMP6/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.28.12+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sharon Huget - For decades, Sharon Huget has passionately pursued her love of painting. In spite of a long career, she says, “I go back to the same ways of doing things. The same lines appear, and I have to believe it’s just my way of doing things.” She talks to me from her Abbotsford studio where she meets with 5 other women painters who pursue similar practices in similar ways but yield totally different results. “There is this woman in my group… her lines are so straight! I don’t know how she does it. Mine are always blurry and impulsive,” she adds. But those blurry impulsive lines are the heart of her work and thematic continuity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633127755481-30CZCEOC929ZSRS1OFUB/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.28.23+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sharon Huget - “I think about homes when I paint, and what people want to live with,” she says. It may sound like a simple pursuit for an artist, but she stands by it, believing the importance of beauty and décor are underestimated. Acceptance, nurturing and sometimes the remnants of classical architectural forms find their way onto her canvasses. While she thinks about warm inviting living space, her paintings have also ended up in numerous psychologist’s offices. Apropos considering Huget sees her work as a conversation. The markings, the color, and texture- they all belong to a particular contemplation. From that perspective there is more to her work than its decorative elements. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-w6dle monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633125536997-BQ759VRV2UI96K924P66/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.51.28+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Colleen Heslin - Colleen Heslin is the perfect artist to move our focus on women working with textiles toward abstract expressionism, or at least I thought. It turns out Heslin has a distaste for reducing contemporary abstraction to think it merely in terms of the historical movement of abstract expressionism saying “the artistic movement of 70 years ago has little relevance to what I do today.” While she works with abstraction, she references a wide breadth of influences within and outside art history, including elements of minimalism and a heavy emphasis on material formation. Abstract Expressionism is at times a lazy catch-all label in her opinion, used to comprehend contemporary abstraction. “And it is often understood as the canonized period of abstract art, rather than a short historical lineage of abstraction,”she says. The problem with such a misunderstanding of the label, causing many artists doing exciting new things today to be compared to the big expressionists of the past and often missing the broader context of the work and history. Heslin then cites some of her favorite inspirational abstract expressionists-they are all women,- and I begin to see how consistently referencing a small group of ultra popular male painters, makes for an eclipse that blocks the light from shining on many equally exciting female artists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633125760184-DCS4U5IQIJNMADLC8D6R/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.52.45+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Colleen Heslin - Before ending our conversation, Heslin wants to add that social activism and letter writing is becoming part of her practice. After a long, drawn-out correspondence with a British Museum she says she, along with other historians at the museum, were able to have the description of a statue of a Syrain woman changed from what she thought was degrading language to something more respectful. It is a small, yet powerful change not lost on Heslin. Corresponding with the museum gave her a glimpse behind the scenes of an institution and the kind of procedure required to make such a small change. She is clearly motivated by her capacity to make a difference and I love her work even more because of it. Finally, I am drawn more than ever to making space in my home for woman artists. What better way than dedicating the largest wall in my home be devoted to a work by Colleen Huslin? She is currently represented by Monte Clark Gallery and her works can exceed my budget which I have capped at $10,000. At that price I could get a smaller piece, approximately 48”X 60” which I would still love. But I think I will remain motivated to one day buy a larger piece and dedicate even more wall space to an inspiring woman in art, who is dedicated to making a difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633125685353-IIRUDGFDCMD7TBCVIN22/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.52.25+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Colleen Heslin - My thoughts come full circle and once again I believe Colleen Heslin is the perfect artist to segue our focus away from women textile to a broader theme of current themes of abstraction and expressionism. I have been looking at women’s careers and how they have been shaped by rejecting the patriarchal history of painting and often moving into a world of “out of the box” sculptural works. Wall space is still considered premium real estate, and often reserved for male artists who approach it with a history of entitlement. Heslin brings us back to a place where women are still bumping up against a male dominated competition for wall space. “Making Space: Woman Artist and Postwar Abstraction” was the title of a 2017 exhibit at the MOMA, underscoring the concerted effort still required to allow wall space to women. In spite of the challenge, Heslin’s works generally range from large, to very large, to extra very large. In fact, she is currently renovating an out-building on her property to facilitate her penchant for expansive works. And when it comes to making space for women, she has no problem cross-referencing artists, drawing attention to other women, like Saskatchewan born Agnes Martin, or the minimalist sculptor Anne Truitt. She is passionate about the urinal debate, firmly believing it should be attributed to Baroness Elsa Von Freytag- Loringhoven rather than Marcel Duchamps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633125590891-GXIJ9QFJ46ZB8O1R6JEW/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.51.49+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Colleen Heslin - Heslin herself is a contemporary fiber artist. She focuses on abstraction but uses a broad spectrum of mediums and subjects in her practice. She lives on a 6-acre property in Powell River, BC. Her art practice involves dying canvass, then sewing them into her compositions. Her work is limited by the colors she can achieve through the dying, and the shapes she can maneuver on her industrial sewing machine. At the heart of her work is an excitement for color and form. She brings both to the foreground by maintaining minimalist values. “It is a challenging process to see how much you can strip away and still leave enough.” she says. The results are stunning. Curved, uninterrupted blocks of color suggest movement and bring emotional value to the work. I didn’t say it, but I am reminded of Mark Rothko when I look at her work even though she has already said how free associating with the past is lazy. But I am beginning to understand her point, how making conclusions based on the artist’s end result, without knowing the artist’s process and values that went into achieving those results, is the part that is lazy. And it is Colleen Heslin’s emphasis on materiality, and her enduring relationship with the sewing machine that links her more closely to the feminist principles that have been discussed over the past 5 days, than I would have anticipated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633125302258-068AAZI6QUS8NAUYVD6F/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.54.27+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Colleen Heslin - Colleen Heslin “Colleen Heslin’s art works can range from large, to very large, and very extra large. It is time to make more wall space for women.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-p6blp monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633123669248-E90CUT3BXYLZW6TSI78N/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.15.49+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Ilene Bothma - My assumption is she is a very good knitter because her paintings illustrate an intimate understanding of tension, and how it disperses over an entire row of stitching. “I am a knitter, albeit a bad one,” she says. “I just make it up as I go along, adding stitches when I feel like hoping the piece works in the end. I would never attempt to knit something wearable or useful,” says Bothma. Her exploration of knitting and textiles began when she started to look at female identity and relationships. “The so-called, “woman’s-work”, belonged to a woman’s domain and clearly demonstrated something about who woman are, and how women are supposed to be in relationships and in life,” she says. When she first cut up stockings and used them for knitting, she discovering a bodily, almost abject quality in the material itself. She also used beautiful lace. Between these two extremes, Bothma has come to use textiles as a language unto itself expressing the many different thoughts, and emotions around motherhood. You can read more about Ilene Bothma in an aptly titled piece that speaks specifically to the theme of the ThirtyDayGallery this week, Stitching and Unpicking Ambivalences Toward Womanhood and Maternity in Work by Ilene Bothma, by Irene Bronner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633123771784-TE7MBDHWMARY67W6STMW/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.16.00+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Ilene Bothma - When I introduced the theme of textiles on Day 6 with artist Helena Wadsely, I wrote about the challenge woman face in making even a minimum wage when “slow labor” is involved in their artwork. Bothma remains challenged by the limitations of producing work that is time consuming, but her ability to make paintings that depict a tradition of woman and “slow labor” at the same time as expressing feelings, associating fear and loss with motherhood makes for good multidimensional art. She breaks what I often think of as “the romantic cult of motherhood” and brings aspects of the woman’s psyche to bear. Bothma handles her subject matter with boldness and the proficiency of a master which is why for me, I think Bothma is an interesting art investment. Currently she has 11 works for sale on Artsy.net in the range of $2,500 USD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633123311656-M5JK5TNYW70RY8HZN0LC/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.15.26+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Ilene Bothma - Day 10 brings us South African Artist Ilene Bothma. I learned about Bothma when she was voted the Union House Artist of the Month in December, 2020, for her self-portrait using oils on canvas. This week I am focusing on women working with textiles to make space for themselves in the world of fine art - a world historically dominated by a patriarchal traditional of oil-based paintings authored almost entirely by men. In ironic contrast, Bothma emphasizes her skill in traditional portraiture, while placing knitting and textiles at the core of her work. Her pieces are often conceptualized purely on a particular material. A piece of rope or sample of knitting can be the starting place for her work. Or, it can be the other way around where the visceral qualities, especially of knitting and lace, are added to her work as part of a versatility visual language of expression. Her winning portrait last month shows Bothma breastfeeding, but she is covered by a handknit cape, so loosely stitched together, you can see her eyes peering out from behind the yarn. Her expression appears fearful and her artist statement confirms what she intends is to communicate is a fear of motherhood. “Slow labor is undeniably a part of my process,” she says. “The repetitive nature of knitting, or the excruciatingly slow process of painting stiches and lace on canvass, mimics the labor involved in motherhood, the tedium of the everyday tasks involved in keeping tiny humans healthy and happy. It has become conceptually vital that there is an element of repetition and labor in my work.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633123117399-7829GFPAG3DU76UXGNBJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.17.33+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Ilene Bothma - Ilene Bothma “Bothma handles her subject matter with boldness and the proficiency of a master.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633124722642-4NWCQ7LTU3U93AROEZHJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.34.39+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Olek - Speaking to Olek from their Brooklyn apartment, they wear a lofty knit grey sweater and sit in front of a large-scale collage featuring brightly crocheted doilies on a black backdrop. “I am very old fashioned” they say, perhaps referencing the doilies. But old and young, fast and slow are meaningless binaries, signaling our conversation is probably going down a fruitless path. By old fashioned I suspect Olek means she embraced a slow way of doing things. Bu the subject changes when Olek tells me they grows their own vegetables. “Does a vegetable grow fast or slow? No, it just grows how it needs to grow. You can force it to grow faster with chemicals but then who would want to eat it?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633124872766-MDUMKTL4Y3E842KD49S8/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.35.16+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Olek - The energy and excitement surrounding Olek’s work is undeniable. I would be thrilled to own the elaborately crocheted bicycle currently for sale on Artsy through the Robert Fontaine Gallery for $6,000 USD. No doubt a conversation piece, it already has a certain degree of Hollywood and internet fame. “It would be a great buy,” Olek says, speaking from a collectors point of view, “but it would not directly support me as an artist,”they say. This statement introduces a whole new issue to buying art. Personally I am motivated by “purpose driven collecting” - my main purposes being supporting artist. This means focussing on art by living artist as well as purchasing work on the primary market. In the following days I will look at primary versus secondary markets and the impact these two different markets have on the artists themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633124774003-UQXV0VBT2TT9SNZPY7DZ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.34.50+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Olek - At the same time, I can’t help but comment on how fast she her art career took off. “It’s true,” they say, “the more we slow down the faster we actually grow.” Olek is an artist, a prolific crocheter, energy worker and influencer. Her entire apartment has been replicated in crochet at The Smithsonian Museum. More recent projects introduce Virtual Reality, giving viewers a journey inside a network of stitches to experience the shape and energy of Olek’s works from the inside out. “For me crotchet and Virtual Reality make for the perfect artistic marriage. The Young will be familiar with the VR while discovering crochet, and the elderly with be familiar with the crochet while discovering VR.” You can see some of Olek’s VR videos on their website at https://www.damniwishihadyou.com/2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633124678327-H6I4V22C2R4MVNQCSC9L/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.34.26+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Olek - Olek does not deny they are free, but when I ask if they aspire to greater levels of freedom and creative success, they are afraid to answer the question. “I know the universe will give me whatever I ask for. So, we have to be careful what we ask for,” they say. They proceeds to tell me a charming story about recently wanting a sparrow feather to add to their feather collection. Soon after, a hawk swooped down, attacked a sparrow so that sparrow feathers fell from the sky landing in their possession. Olek explained how the universe is ready to both kill, and sacrifice to give you what you ask for. I recalled seeing the question “Are You and Sparrow or a Hawk?” written across their website. At the time, I wanted to know what they meant by the question. “We are all both,” they said. My wish was fulfilled just as Olek described - I didn’t even ask the question - but the answer was given. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633124831550-K7QU52STVLFQL4SCJ5ZJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.35.00+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Olek - Olek has taken yarn bombing to such a level it is hardly about the feminist messaging that instigating the movement. Our conversation circles back to freedom. On a few occasion they mentions their time in prison. I did not want to ask how they found themselves there because it was obvious it was a spiritual growth opportunity, and presumable something she inadvertently asked for. It turned out prison was a place to sit with women, hear their stories, and feel the power of what was possible when women supported and held space for one another. “There is talk of going to the Mars,” says Olek. “I don’t care if we get to Mars, I care about where we can go in our minds.” With 60,000 Instagram followers they are now working with FansOnly to create a space for spiritual teaching, discussion and artistic interaction which I am more than curious to join. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633124452136-0RGZK501B3LAYH5EEOO8/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.40.35+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Olek - Olek “The excitement around Olek’s work is undeniable.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633124624189-OX1RXE4G2P1KVJCRJR0O/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+3.34.00+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Olek - Day 11 brings a big finale to the past five days featuring women in textiles and fine art. Today’s artist is a twin spirit that goes by the name, Olek. They came from Poland, landed in New York City and claimed their freedom. I asked Olek whether crochet helped free them, or whether their life would have combusted in freedom regardless. They describe freedom as a state of being, “whoever you are, is what you will bring to your work,” they say. Olek is also a teacher of spiritual principals. I feel something “off” about my question, and I know what it is. I have projected freedom onto them because of the way their knitting looks. To me, their work is an explosion of brightly colored yarn, spontaneous and divinely patterned. Their crochet creates art statements rather than functional garments, and Olek’s perspective firmly rooted in their functioning as a spiritual being having a human experience. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-hgxdw monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633205586909-RXCDDW44WEZTDS4XZTIM/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.12.37+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Dona Park - Dona Park “No doubt, Dona Park’s illustrations communicate a powerful message, but can digital imagery pass as fine art? Art is not only about tactile, beautiful objects, it is about concept too. Are screen savers fine art?” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633205936277-DS34ZBSXTSP2H0NMGI65/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.10.38+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Dona Park - Dona Park started working in commercial digital illustration, content creating and package design for a beauty start- up. When she left the company, she continued to use the many tools she adapted for her job to create her own images with her own personal messaging. Korean born, Dona studied art and history at Goshen College in Indiana where she became known as a social activist. Spearheading anti-racial campaigns and promoting intersectional dialogue, Park’s message is about diversity and unity. Today she continues in social activism working on a peacemaking project in Cambodia. Travelling back and forth has only furthered her interest in digital illustration since all she needs is an IPad and apple pencil. After working with all the messy materials of a painter she has come to like the physical and environmental cleanliness of digital works and the fact that it also eliminates consumption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206027009-35YCT3S8LQXNK88M0SFG/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.11.12+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Dona Park - As for her images, Dona Park finds subject matter in women in swimsuits, kissing, young women in traditional Asian clothing and more. Her images merge old and new, traditional and non-traditional while speaking of community endeavors and positive shared spaces. An air of peaceful contemplation moves through the flat spaces of her compositions, and when not socially engaged, her figures are often surrounded by a vast negative space that appears give the sense of a soul enriching solitude. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206077079-NXDGR8BWYQMA24EUL911/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.11.30+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Dona Park - Are these utopic ideals capable of reinventing the capitalist world many of us have come to accept today? The future is theirs, all I want to know is how are these young idealists are going to survive and thrive? I think it is an interesting question, one we have all been asking. The very ethos of today’s millennial is in fact the subject matter of and upcoming artist Sherri Wolfgang, whose portraits will be featured tomorrow. When it comes to art, if beauty and reinvention are the goal, Dona Park’s work is undoubtably beautiful and brand new. She is thoughtful, educated and morally driven, and out there challenging the very nature of conventional goals and objectives. I have to applaud her and her whole generation for pursuing a better and more unified world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633205983853-B93BE0FSMI8TX90NB0K1/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.11.00+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Dona Park - “It’s a bit of a rabbit hole,” she says. I can only assume this refers to online chat rooms where dedicated followings are built. “I really feel I can connect with audiences in this medium,” she adds. Younger people read and understand her images. There is not a lot of ambiguity, so like-minded audiences can enjoy eye-catching imagery while they merge as one sphere of influence. As for the monetization of her work, one of the most common methods is Patreon. People pay for memberships which allow them to follow an artist. In doing so, they support a voice they want heard and to see grow in the world. Patreon, like the digital art making itself, makes a space for art consumers to do away with material consumption. Although, Park’s paid work is mainly derived from made to order prints and commissions from a variety of social media platforms. For example the gardening image was commissioned by a humanitarian aid organization and depicts one of their projects in Africa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633205798855-WZV1RMR3E25O3HEZNF48/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.10.22+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Dona Park - Day 18 brings artist Dona Park to the Thirty Day Gallery, introducing digital illustration to the mix of art forms represented. Whether this is the artwork of the future is still questionable to me. No doubt, Dona Park’s illustrations communicate a powerful message, but can digital imagery pass as fine art? Art is not only about tactile, beautiful objects, it is about concept too. Are screen savers fine art? Do we hang screens on the wall? Then there is the monetization and replication of the artwork which brings to bear a whole new set of questions. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ltdtw monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633191194258-C7D9XU6EM1P4EAI5C85U/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+10.00.57+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cara Guri - What follows is a strange question, but I have to ask. I ask about her smooth hair, sensing within the artist such a deep dedication to clean lines and minimalism that the aesthetic extends to her own appearance and grooming. “No, no. I love to paint what some might see as imperfections,” she says. “I love to paint veins, moles and messy hair. I paint a lot of hair but always include stray strands. Including imperfections on the skin allows me to paint my subjects like a landscape. Those nuances are exciting to me.” I tell Guri that I am profiling 30 artists in 30 days and she is responsible for pivoting the conversation from abstraction to realism. She responds, “I think of my work as partly abstract though… not the result, but the process.” She continues to describe her paintings as multi-layered, “like rock sediment”, each layer involving some form of abstraction until the layers come together to achieve a degree of realism. Many of her works are self-portraits requiring angled mirrors to get a closer look at body parts she would otherwise not be able to see. The process involves a kind of severing of self, to examine her body as a separate subject. There is even an element of objectification of her own body, she adds, observing her own parts as if they are unknown and unattainable. Ultimately, the numerous cycles of observation, and reproducing the image of her own body relent, and she comes to recognize a greater and more intimate self-awareness than before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633191047446-FWMBL3T4414OXNFL1491/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+10.00.24+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cara Guri - The artist for Day 17 is Cara Guri. I am excited to introduce her work because it turns the conversation toward an aspect of art I have yet to explore – portraiture. The past five days have looked at the popularity of contemporary abstraction, but now I am turning my attention to the photorealistic work of Cara Guri. Her work opens a new world, be it a challenging one. The graphic realism of her painting is confronting, and it is that same confrontation that helps explain the ease and popularity of abstract contemporary works. Guri’s paintings are beautifully executed, but deceptively challenging. Demure compositions are gentle in their invitation of the viewer’s gaze, then trapping it in a mind game that escorts one out to the psychological edges of ambiguity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633191261911-PA566INQ8EAQW37Q7X68/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+10.01.13+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cara Guri - The end results, are paintings that revolve around paradox while sweeping the viewer into their fold. I draw a comparison to the work of graphic artist M.C. Escher depicting images, for example, of a snake swallowing its tail. It’s a visual puzzle you can’t put down. As Guri speaks to me from her studio in Vancouver, behind her hangs a self-portrait, and I can’t take my eyes off it. Her hands are raised to imitate the shutter of a camera framing her ear, while blocking out nearly her whole profile. The hands, a trope of classical portraiture, are gentle, and unassuming. A feminine and inviting character, like the classic nude reclining in a settee, inviting the male gaze. But rather than direct the gaze in a sexually suggestive direction, our eyes are directed into the blackhole of her ear. Suddenly those hands - palms pressed forward - appear more assertive gesturing to the viewer to back-off, or alternatively suggesting intimacy where it is she who has the upper hand, taking you - the viewer - in, as if to hear your very thoughts. Suddenly, it is the virtues of the painter, acting as stage director, that controls the situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633191163957-KXI4C0PMY41BM6XGSR0N/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+10.00.39+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cara Guri - Guri’s sensibilities are modern and minimalist but her work remains rooted in a well-studied and practiced approach to painting photo-realistic images. After graduating from Emily Carr School of Art and Design, she went on to Columbia University in New York for more advanced studies. Today she is an artist who has passed through the eye of the needle, mastering the techniques of formal portraiture while still having fun doing it. Her command of the art form allows her to play and take pleasure in turning the conventions of “viewership” on its head. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633190615007-JIRZ24YMY8U0395RI3YU/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+10.02.55+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cara Guri - Cara Guri “I am turning my attention to the photorealistic work of Cara Guri. Her work opens a new world, all be it a challenging one.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633191315860-PGTHMJW98BMKHOYMDX9H/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+10.01.30+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cara Guri - “Digesting the history of portraiture in Western art, in the context of today, has involved me looking at power portraits of the aristocracy, and traditional female nudes catering to the male gaze. In both cases the viewer is given everything, and as a painter I felt alienated by both approaches. I was interested in an alternate narrative whereby subjects retain a piece of themselves. They are intimate but you don’t have full access. My goal is to produce new meanings in viewership and new type of connection,” says Guri. Day 17, I am ready to rise to the challenge Cara Guri’s paintings present. The fundamental values of her work both disrupt and conform to a historically elevated art form. The sophistication of her compositions suggest mastery and invoke a dynamic world of interpretation. I appreciate the nuance of this work, how meaning can shift like light and shadows, averaging out and ultimately appreciating over time. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-jxh2h monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206911312-NWSK7388JKJE08TDHXVV/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.25.30+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sherri Wolfgang - American Pathos offers a softer approach. While revealing skepticism and futility with regards to this new generation, Wolfgang argues, “they are also beautiful”. One image shows a couple on a hammock holding a bowl of lemons gleaming in the sunlight. They are young adults, in a beautiful time of life, not quite real adults, not yet burdened and passionatly looking toward a more peaceful and equitable future. Full of angst but for the moment they are beautiful. A marked moment in time that could make a greater difference than any other. Wolfgang speaks of today’s painter as yesterday’s historians. More documentation hardly seems necessary with all the quick sharing of videos and selfies, but Wolfgang’s images are cause for pause. There is still an element of art today that does document time. And stepping back to appreciate art as a historical document for me is like seeing though time, revealing that which is constant and that which has the power to creates itself brand new and totally different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206618830-N30UXTT1OMD7MSZA8A6I/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.24.06+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sherri Wolfgang - Day 19 introduces Sherri Wolfgang, the second fine art portrait artist to be featured in the ThirtyDayGallery this month. Her current work is a series called American Pathos depicting a diverse group of millennials. They show up on her canvasses, often in clusters, to create easy going narrative compositions. Each painting is its own episode, when put together they run like a full season of Portlandia. The cast is made up of nine models, two of which are her own daughters. As a mother having raised millennials, the insight Wolfgang injects into her work runs deep, her commentary on the next generation is nuances with both criticism and hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206709987-6UCH46OTWU4AYNU5ZF1A/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.24.27+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sherri Wolfgang - Twisted is another of her series which looks at mental illness and plastic surgery. She describes the works in this series as more highly narrative. “They are less concerned with beauty, and more driven by raw emotion,” she says. The painting I am looking at portrays three women sitting around a table. One has her breast laying on the table, while another smokes a cigarette. Another is shaved bald and the center figure’s face is fully wrapped in gauze. Together they laugh - seemingly jovial, but I assume medicated. The women are garish, and to get swept up in the painting is to actually hear the ring of their cacophonic throaty laughter. This is the power of Sherri Wolfgang’s paintings, full of life and possibility, both good and bad. What is often challenging about portraiture in general, is overcoming the obstacles of bringing such characters, strangers in fact, into your home. In the context of fine art, I think of these figures as representations of an idea, sometimes a cautionary tale, and often straight up testaments of our times. But the skill of a realist painter might just bring such a warm-blooded finesse to their figures that you end up with more than you bargained for. Imagining the cackling laughter is just one example of countless experiences a viewer might have when taking in one of Wolfgang’s works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206826690-ICCICP9IGG4UBBW5S9S9/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.25.15+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sherri Wolfgang - Visiting her studio in Westport Connecticut, I was able to see her some of her works in progress. She has been working on this particular series for a few years already, with its completion not far off on the horizon. It is her normal routine to grab on to an idea or a theme, then take 3-4 years to create the cohesive series, with each individual painting taking about 6 months. “I have plenty of ideas,” she says, “but they don’t all take hold.” From what I can see, this series American Pathos is fully crystallized in terms of its expression, and yet what appears to be her most ambitious piece hangs on the wall as highly articulated drawing on canvas. The painting has not yet begun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206453914-IK6X0C628M86N8Y76IBO/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.27.01+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sherri Wolfgang - Sherri Wolfgang “Each painting is its own episode, when put together they run like a full season of Portlandia.” - Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633206768775-MQYXAD1YW1WGTSGOZOVV/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.24.50+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Sherri Wolfgang - “I need to finish it for my show this summer, but I also need to finish so I can move on,” she says. When I ask about her next subject of interest, she says she doesn’t know, repeating, “I have lots of ideas, but they don’t all take hold.” It sounds like her subject matter chooses her as much as she chooses it. One of her previous series featured a single male dancer against a richly textured burnt orange background. She captured the dancer in numerous, slightly off-balance, poses. The dancer’s asymmetrical, even awkward positions are overcome by poise and a musculature that transcends the parameters of ordinary human movement. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-7p8j3 monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633207372965-J7YKYB9CLX819ZWC9I8X/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.37.20+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce - Day 20 shines our attention on Danyle James Bruce, a young film maker whose crafted story boards build a world of visual-art images unto themselves. One of a kind, original postcard and poster size mixed media on paper works are his current artistic output. The compositional ideas of a filmmaker concerned with “framing a shot”, blend with the subject matter of a musician. Bruce’s creative process propels him through multiple acts of translation, one art form to another to arrive at his current series of images. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633207433210-QH1ZHKMNL7BBZEV21NJY/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.37.41+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce - Proceeds from his artwork are intended to fund his next film project, but his two-dimensional images are already manifesting a world that stands alone and speaks for itself. The narrative quality of each image illustrates both the microcosm of the moment and the macrocosm of the world he build with a lyrical flair. “It a romantic collage” he says as he stacks the postcards, and hands them to me to look at like a flip book. “What I am conveying really has to do with morality. This world I am creating is about living in the moment. I feel like everything I have learned has come from music,” he says. I flip through the images -black red, white and sometimes blue – they suggest a film-noir influence. “They are inspired by the film maker Jean-Luc Godard and in particular the film Breathless,” he says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633207220742-RL7450BA6SVAHJDEJPI2/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.39.59+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce - Danyle James Bruce “I look forward to following the career of Danyle David Bruce.

She punched me like a dude, reads one of the images. “That is a line form David Bowie,” he adds. Jabbing not approximating reads another. “That it a quote by the pianist Bill Evans,” he says. I am beginning to see his point of view, how music is a morality, and the words of musicians reveal a particular philosophy of being. My conversation with Danyle James Bruce is enlightening. At only 20 years old he is not claiming any knowledge, or truth, instead he does the work of an artist. New to New York City, the young filmmaker artist steeps in the big questions so that he can shares with his audience how things like love, beauty, nature and music are our tools of contentment. I look forward to following the career of Danyle David Bruce. Acquiring one of his posters at this time I believe is to invest in the start of a career that will be reveled gracefully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/8d6af64a-0599-4da1-89b0-901e9ab52edd/at%2Ba%2Btable.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1688e80a-1bc4-41ae-966b-609102761876/electricshoes.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/440ba991-5424-4363-95d3-275ca846303f/354bowery.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/396d8228-f5be-4084-9de3-9f63a125a66b/flaneur.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/d9f03796-336a-4a07-9445-1ddcf25849f5/from%2Ba%2Bto%2Bb.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/6238d32a-74c3-4707-9fd0-5caf16cda1c1/further.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/4fb7f8ee-ed0f-4192-bc89-3e8c6cf4ae7c/halfhome.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/fb19bed0-f0d4-47a8-82a8-370f5e8e40b0/iseerag.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/538d65cf-c72c-4e65-a125-6fb5b742c8a1/moxi.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Danyle James Bruce https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208238951-R118T4P1XLPEN5B9TOS8/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.51.55+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Purvis Young - With little knowledge of the artist himself, I ended up buying four of his pieces at auction. Only afterwards did a start learning about the artist’s life. What I read was a story of terrible artist exploitation, and one that is all too common. Because of my four Purvis Young paintings, I have deliberately turned my attention to purpose driven collecting and making sure the acquisition of any artwork serves to financially benefits the lives of living artists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208038290-EA9B7YENRA8SMWE17V9S/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.53.28+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Purvis Young - Purvis Young “Because of Purvis Young, I have deliberately turned my attention to purpose driven collecting and making sure the acquisition of any artwork serves to financially benefits the lives of living artists. — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208302208-M6JLS3NTLRT0Z6DUE4WW/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.52.31+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Purvis Young - If art is treated like tool for financial investing, Purvis Young would be on the top of my list as both an affordable and exciting investment. But if art is also an investment in nourishing the soul, perhaps there should be some sort of carbon- offsetting equivalent to atone for a market that allows artists to suffer financially even when their labor so richly benefits the rest of us.

An excellent read on the life of Purvis Young is the Washington Post article dated Jan 8, 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208266312-5360PNJXQYCUCJ02P54D/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.52.17+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Purvis Young - During his lifetime Purvis Young was surrounded by fans and recognition. His work is in the collections of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and two Smithsonian museums. Lenny Kravitz, David Byrne and Jane Fonda are all professed fans. And now, I too have joined the club. But Purvis Young lived his life essentially penniless, with the exception his artworks. But in a court settlement, his work was valued at $1 a piece and used to pay down his debts. Not long after, Sotheby’s value a gifted collection of his works a $1,000,0000 which would have valued each work at $11,000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208197959-PEFFYK88ZEPHYLP9S2BL/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+2.51.31+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Purvis Young - Day 21 introduces outsider artist, Purvis Young. I am breaking the rules today, since the criteria of the Thirty Day Gallery is to concentrate of living artists. Purvis Young passed away in 2010, but the reason I am including him is that he is very much part of my collecting journey. Triggered by the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, I fell in love with his work and wanted to have it in my home. His imagery repetitiously depicts slavery, horses, boats, angles, pregnant warriors and city-scapes with trucks. The paintings vernacular is a clear reminder of the hearts, hands and souls that courageously built the country I currently live in. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-wlnnz monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633128511191-0I9R5W0OY5ZHHGRO9C6S/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.41.21+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan Petree This past year has changed her painting in other ways too. She has been more introspective, asking herself not only what kind of artist she wants to be, but what kind of person she wants to be. When a work sells, she says she is not inclined to make more work like it. She remains in the moment with her artistic process, and avoids thinking about production. Finally, what draws me to Susan Petree’s work is her unabashedly assertive style, unburdened by a need to soften or be muted. A rough quality actually speaks of clarity and mindfulness as if the painting is the way the painting is, because it is exactly the way the painting wants to be. As a woman, I appreciate the unapologetic work of another woman, less concerned with seeking and more concerned with finding. More than empowering, I find her pieces simply empowered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633128165049-YWJJ18XTDLXMVZJD4BMW/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.42.21+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan Petree - Susan Petree “More than empowering, I find her pieces simply empowered.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633128414379-CBM042T97VLCHY3SIP2Y/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.40.48+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan Petree “Painting was very physical at first, I just started throwing and moving paint around the canvass, and I loved it,” she says. She went on to study many more styles of painting, continuing to improve her craft, but other techniques began to erode her passion for building big bold canvasses worked over by multiple layers of paint and personal expression. She likes the physicality of painting large canvasses and making strong statements but was reticent about making marks at first. With time she came to enjoy making strong angry marks, vibrant marks and marks of any kind. “Sometimes I get carried away and feel I have to cover up a part of my painting,” she says. Photo documenting is part of Petree’s practice, allowing her to see how the canvass evolve over time. “Sometimes I look back and see something I painted over and really regret it,” she says. As I listen, I hear in Susan’s voice how she dances with the work, making impulsive decisions, working with emotions and momentum to keep the dance and painting alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633128344601-JZPECGHOYS7TSKGUDSTA/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.40.30+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan Petree - For Susan Petree, painting is her second act. While on vacation in Santa Fe, she came across a painting studio offering classes in abstract expressionist style painting, she gave it a try and found a new calling. Next, she went home, left her career in finance and built a painting studio in Newport, Rhode Island. She has now been painting full time for nine years. “Leap and the net will appear” are written across her website like the words are her autobiography. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633128464253-T58TSF5AO242FM0IEEHP/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+4.41.02+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Susan Petree We went on to talk a little bit about the history of abstract expressionism as a post war artistic movement and how she believes her works of contemporary abstraction bear any similarity to the artistic movement of the past that remains so visually compelling today. “I don’t have any political intentions when I create my work,” she says. Her dance with the canvass seems more guided by intuitive movements. “Every move I make is reaction to the last move. There is a lot of depth, history and texture in my work because of all the different efforts I have put into the painting,” she says. “Oh. And I love to travel,” she adds. Growing up in a Foreign Service family, she spent her childhood moving between Virginia, Japan, and Ethiopia. Today she makes a point of taking two big trips a year and is now looking forward to a residency she has been awarded in Loire Valley in France once the Covid-19 related travel restrictions are lifted. Her paintings are most often influenced by the places she visits. This year, without such travel, she notices lots of blues and turquoise in her paintings which she attributes to the water surrounding her in Rhode Island. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-99bfd monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633189610785-XOKT05VS6C0OQKDYNFW8/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+9.37.20+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Vital Germaine - Finally, Artist’s selling art brings us to what is often the most confounding aspect of the art world. Paintings by abstract expressionists recognized in the historical canon go at auction for prices in the range of one hundred million dollars. But this style of contemporary abstraction is so popular there is another end to the spectrums. Large 3-D printed canvasses (I prefer to call them wall décor than paintings) are sold at Restoration Hardware and priced anywhere between one and four thousand dollars. So where does an artist like Vital Germaine fit in? “It is about authenticity,” says Germaine. The artist has to determine for himself each time he approaches the canvas whether what he is doing is honest. After that, it’s up to the audience to connect with the work and feel what they see. “Ultimately, on some level, the artist and buyer have to agree on what is real and true for them,” he says. That is when an artwork sells. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633189417082-SJ9NMM6QR00CBITWBQWC/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+9.36.37+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Vital Germaine - “No restrictions. No rules,” he says. That is how Vital Germaine describes his approach to the canvass. Turqouise, red, black, and white dominate recent works, and a YouTube video titled, When an artist says, TOO MUCH, walks viewers through his process, from color choice to end result. More importantly, what Germaine does in his video is reminds us of the simple, yet fundamental practice of transforming negative emotions. In response to the insurrection of the US Capitol on January 6th, and racism in general, Germaine stands on a ladder, pours, throws and then smears paint on a canvas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633189228919-0Y2JOQJJAKY8GXNZ8QDL/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+9.39.43+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Vital Germaine - Vital Germaine “Our conversation focused on art, but at times Germaine sounded like he was describing the trapeze, swinging from ridged precision to free-form expression, back and forth, ultimately balancing out the two extremes.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633189467154-5YNYFTZOBVEH56YRQO54/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+9.36.58+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Vital Germaine “It’s messy but it is not a mess,” he says. In many ways his art practice is a counter point to the rest of his life which is very orderly and scheduled. In addition to being an artist Vital is a public speaker, author and performance coach. He is also a former Cirque du Soleil acrobat, featured in the bungee-trapeze act in the Las Vegas production of Mystere, until an injury ended his career.. Bubble letters spell LOVE across one of his paintings. The letters can look a bit like a Cirque du Soleil poster for the Beatles show also titled LOVE. Germaine agrees but he explains the lettering is also nostalgic look back on how he used to doodle as a kid, imitating the groovy style of the 60’s and 70’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633189531423-COOBBS4G13MUK38EUIEQ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+9.37.06+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Vital Germaine - “I didn’t do it by design,” he says. “I came to my style of painting after years of studying, practicing and learning art.” Our conversation focused on art, but at times Germaine sounded like he was describing the trapeze, swinging from ridged precision to free-form expression, back and forth, ultimately balancing out the two extremes. What remains constant though… the element of risk.. “Spontaneity is scary. Every time I communicate something, I risk ruining the composition of what I already created. I have to relinquish control. But in the end, I think it is my most authentic expression” he says. While speaking of freedom, Vital Germaine describes how thought and intention also enter the work. “It is not all random,” he says. Working in the moment, there is still a certain composition he tries to achieve. Composition sounds like the final frontier of formalism. Visceral swings of thought, mood, and emotion do have to resolve themselves in a coherent, balanced, digestible artwork. “Marketable too,” he adds, “I do think about what I can sell.” https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n-xgs85-4psyc-33tnl-39dtb monthly 0.5 2021-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633214072240-MHC3QME85WXKK3PK3SR1/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.28.02+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Barbara Boeck - She says she is still redefining herself as an artist, moving beyond illustrations and looking from many angles at her own voice as an artist. In addition to her tree series, she creates interesting fiber art which originally attracted me to her work. Using pastels on raw canvas, she draws floral motifs, then contours the leaves and petals by shredding the canvas down to its fibers, to then manipulate in various ways. Again, the effect adds textured relief to her work that speaks of roots and veins connecting to an underworld network of nutrients and nourishment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633214103175-6E64YRD8H55Z2LWZ85W3/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.28.17+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Barbara Boeck - 2020 was the culmination of some difficult times where many people turned inward and many artists saliently turned to nature for comfort, guidance and even leadership. While spirituality has always been a theme in art, I am beginning to wonder if today’s working artist is in the process of creating a collective body of work that serves to remind us of our roles and responsibilities on earth. Is art trending toward a more sober, timeless and elegant aesthetic than the red-hot excitement and eccentricity of the contemporary art scene in recent years?

As we close in on the end of this exploration of 30 Artists in 30 Days, Barbara Boeck incorporates many of the themes that have been touched on, most predominantly her use of textiles, and her meditations on nature. But she doesn't stop there, Boeck's art practice is divergent to say the least. Visiting her studio in Redding, CT, I witness her in the throes of repurposing an old piano into various sculptural pieces. The old harp from the piano stands outside her window as a kind of garden sculpture mobile, and she is excited to show me her old metal mailbox that was flattened after being hit by a car, which she has now made into a two-dimensional sculpture called “Redding Roadkill”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633213998824-LZQW5SOS8RBACNXCJK5R/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.27.23+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Barbara Boeck - At the core of her art are meticulously rendered drawings. For over 30 years she used this skill to run a design business with her late husband. Her illustrative designs were carved and etched into glass to make functional, custom-made interior glass installations. Today, unbound by the demands of her old business, her creativity is devoted to its own reinvention, while seeking guidance from the nature that surrounds her home and studio. She speaks of tree journeys where she finds particular trees that single handedly seem to narrate the marvels of life. She is currently working with five particular trees, “but I will probably have to expand the series to seven because I am finding some more amazing “Old Souls””, as she likes to call her tree subjects. Her artwork is mixed-media set on her signature matte black backgrounds. I see qualities of her glass carving carried over to her new work in the way she adds a slight relief; carving and layering her art pieces to give the bark of her trees a subtle, and realistic bark-like texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633214047801-8V5RNCGT6HXRCEPXZPUP/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.27.43+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Barbara Boeck - “Defying the Odds” is the title of her most recently completed work in the series of tall, narrow tree images. At its base, this tree flattens and laterally squeezes through seemingly impenetrable rockery, finding its way to the light, at which point the tree returns to its naturally shaped trunk and carries onward and upward to new heights. Perhaps, this tree is autobiographical, in that having endured the sudden loss of her husband and business partner, Barbara Boeck left her old life behind and moved east where she found a new life and her new husband. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208736616-UIRDWGXTXRFXS6Y5DXBQ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.02.48+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - Sometimes art becomes difficult - intellectual, abstract and conceptual. Sometimes we turn to outsider and folk art for something more straight forward. And sometimes it’s worth dropping the word “Art” altogether in an effort to experience simple beauty, in all its forms, while recognizing the cultural significance of each and every life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633209336147-6J1EI54JGPCFX0J9Y80F/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.10.58+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - And my mother's people carry market baskets, and they wear gloves jewels and hand-stitched buckskin capes. And they wear ruffles fringes flounces trims ponchos and puffed sleeves. And she paints their faces with their eyes wide open. And they have thick red lips and piles of hair. And the hair curls coils and cascades and it's plaited braided Rastafarian wrapped in buns and it tumbles tufted jet black white blond coppery red tendrilled permed and sometimes streaked gray. And she sews on bushy eyebrows from a remnant of brown yarn. And she paints on cheeks with a dime store brush. And my mother's people wear dimples and they wear frowns. And they have memories worries and they don’t sleep. Then she looks up their skirts and paints on tiny bloomers and underwear and then she paints on shoes. Then she sets them aside not thinking just starting another like you light another cigarette. And when I asked her how long each one takes to make she didn't answer because she doesn't know and if you ask why she makes them she just tells you where this one's from and she doesn't make them to keep or to sell she just gives them away or adds them to the pile upstairs. And I don't think she'll ever get them all made all the people she's seen and these aren't the kind of dolls that you hold and they aren't soft and they don’t comfort and children won't take them to bed but each one tells a story. And each one has a look in its eye. And each one comes from some place only she's been, only she knows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208770187-EBHL9HWB68MA2FW6AEO1/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.02.59+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - When in 1979, Frances Lloyd-Osterman followed her husband to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on a three-year work assignment she came alive. Jeanne- Marie recalls her mother teaching her “you don’t have to pay for entertainment, just go outside and look at people.” But Frances went further than that, she began making dolls as little replicas of the people she would see in the marketplace in Arabia and on her travels to Kenya, Thailand, and Cyprus. These were the people that interested her, more-so than the folks back home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208820419-VQSXZIIK4RKB8GBFAB3W/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.03.17+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - Today Jeanne-Marie Osterman, estimates there are 250 dolls in the collection. Her mother has now passed, and rather than follow exactly in her mother’s footsteps, Jeanne-Marie is a poet. Her first poem titled My Mother’s People, describes her Mother’s fascination with doll making. The poem has yet to be published but can be read below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633209164865-K4G8K91UDBOAURW4I4ZT/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.10.34+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - One day her kids having left home she picked up a hanger a rag and some paint and she made Carmen. Then she took another hanger and she made Miss Pross. Then she made Aida sing and Violetta cough. Then she made Miss Havisham with cobwebs in her clothes. She calls them her people and she never stops making them now. After making all her favorite women from operas and books she started making cowboys and their horses too. And she made the Native Americans from twenty tribes. And she made Arabs and she made Jews. And she made Mexicans Guatemalans and a gaucho from Brazil. And my mother's people wear chaps. And they hold parcels and carry tiny coins in miniature pocketbooks and purses. And they hold prayer books with her prayers written inside. And she made Japanese Chinese Javanese and Balinese. And she made the Cossacks and the Crimeans. And she made Danish Swedish Bulgarian and Pole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208796672-LMOC5N3DQRKZPAX8J5ME/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.03.08+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - “My mother loved opera and Charles Dickens,” says Jeanne-Marie, describing many of her mother’s dolls as “not particularly happy”. Her mother liked to capture the drama and the suffering of daily life. Time after time, she would express not just the clothing and physical attributes but the burden each person carried in their posture and in the expressions on their faces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208988888-OOMDUOPPQ68ARKCPUUWC/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.03.35+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - The dolls currently remain whole as a collection and are not for sale, but Jeanne- Marie has produced is a collectible book titled My Mother’s People. The book is available for $110. Shellback, a book of poetry is also available for $16. Links to both below.

As the world becomes more homogenized with global clothing retailers, the cultural significant of these dolls inevitably appreciates. Additionally, with the art world slowly opens its doors to make space for women, elevating the often hand-stitched textile works of visionary female artists, I have a feeling the life of these dolls has just begun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633209263814-7D6FUKZXF84ZL4D3VX41/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.10.49+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - And she made the Sisters of the Order of the Holy Cross. And she made Benedictines Franciscans Carmelites and Israelites. And then came the Babushka ladies with tiny baby Babushkas spilling from kangaroo pouches sewn on the fronts of their dresses. And she made Indians Pakistanis and a Turk with a fez. And she glued tiny jewels onto their stuffed foreheads. And she gave them silk pantaloons. And she made the merchant she saw on a trip to Tunisia. And the camel driver she saw in Saudi Arabia. And the taxi driver who took her through Cairo's slums. And there are boxes and boxes of Bedouins stacked in her attic. And there's the lady from Lahore. And there are shepherds mountain climbers peasants and there are queens. And gently gently wrapped in tissue are the Hassidic Jews whose hair she twirled on a pencil to make curls that bounce down their jowls. And she cut tiny yarmulkes from of one of her old dresses. And then she made their wives with lace shawls, long noses and wigs. And she made goutras and she made gi's. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633208705284-PL4Y54BO64X97GFEWKX4/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.04.25+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jeanne-Marie Osterman - Jeanne-Marie Osterman “I have a feeling the life of these dolls has just begun. ” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n-xgs85-4psyc monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212663065-XPK6EIDNGISQJ6B8IWUJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.02.42+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Kim de Garis - I question whether de Garis’ current creative trajectory will become overtly political since political issues are occupying her thoughts these days. Irregardless, I see an understanding of the people she cares so deeply about infused in her work, which in and of itself, is a great start to building curiosity and respect for other cultures and different ways of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212355242-ZSARMCNSV3JPTX5NQAP3/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.00.53+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Kim de Garis - Kim de Garis “I see an understanding of the people she cares so deeply about in her work, which in and of itself, is a great start to building curiosity and respect for other cultures and different ways of life.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212560769-82PO8UOJHQEE07A04HU0/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.02.26+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Kim de Garis - Today she lives in New Jersey in a home she refers to as “special”. “You just have to see it,” she says, describing it as having a more Asian aesthetic than Turkish or Middle Eastern. I definitely want to visit because I sense a world suspended in time causing you to breath more deeply. There are hardly words to describe the beauty and satisfaction of a deep, full breath. Much of my conversation with Kim was about the qualities she nurtures in her daily life as it has been inspired by the nomads. But I can see it all in her paintings too. With the exception of these fun and fantastic safety pin earrings, her work does not appear formally inspired by the intricate stitching of Yoruk textiles, it seems more like the freedom of breath and generosity of color that shows up on the canvass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212456058-XXEOK75XOBZO6IAYEHM7/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.01.24+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Kim de Garis - “Ever since I was a child I wanted to go to Mongolia,” she says. But recently, Kim says has been distracted by politics and can’t say exactly where it is taking her in terms of her art. “I am interested in “outsiders” and I’m a huge defender of Muslims and Kurds - people who are misunderstood while extremists get all the attention,” she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212519569-N998BWRDPX02UYH9CX06/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.02.10+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Kim de Garis - Two consecutive summers Kim de-Garis lived with the Yoruk People of Southern Anatolia, Turkey. To this day she remains touched by the lifestyle. “It is the most simple and beautiful experience. Going to fetch water is something to stop and enjoy. I don’t feel we have the time to spend on beautiful things anymore,” she says. I can’t tell if she is still talking about intricate ornate textiles or simple pleasures like watching light bouncing off a stream the water as it pours into a bucket. I suspect all of it - time slowing down in general so that each moment becomes something to behold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212394698-Y8C7GMFCOJZQQ0Y1NW6Z/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.01.09+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Kim de Garis - Day 25 introduces artist Kim de Garis who’s canvasses are free, and sometimes naïve. But more often they are an unbridled exploration of color and texture. Her biggest inspirations are the textiles of Turkey, nomadic people and the beautifully hand-made objects used in daily nomadic life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212482585-CJ634C6RS8VA3X28JPHL/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.01.37+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Kim de Garis - If she could be dropped anywhere on the planet, de Garis says it would be among these people she cares to defend. “And then when I die,” she adds,“if I could, I would have my body set into the desert hillside of Mongolia where my body could dehydrate until there was nothing left but clean white bones.” “And it doesn’t take that long,” she adds. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n-xgs85-4psyc-33tnl monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633213309603-OFYDX4NPR8UJYXLEQSBP/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.14.27+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Leah Biggs - Another reason film noir is such an inspiration for Biggs is her love of shadows. “When I stage these objects, I set them up with a flood light against a white carboard back-drop. I make fun compositions where I see personality of the objects in their shadows too.” For Biggs it is all about form and personality. “I see color as a distraction,” she says. Her black and white world speaks of simplicity and containment, while stylistic details speak of an artist who has a handle on their own core aesthetic values. “I always draw my hand and feet slightly larger than they should be,” she says, “and I like to place certain object very close to the border because I like the tension.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633213083777-9P2OG4IKNTWKO323HBAJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.14.01+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Leah Biggs - Biggs other regret is not having a larger body of work right now, because she is eager to have a show. She is working towards it, but the large charcoal works take a long time and more recently she has been slowed down by a bout of arthritis. She has alternatively, diverted much of her attention to producing a number ink drawings for sale. She refers them affectionately as, “my inks”, the most popular being her telephone drawings. “I always liked to talk on the phone, but it just seems part of a different era now,” she says. Personally, I had never thought that, for all the time we spend staring at our phones, we are rarely actually talking to people. But Biggs images imply actual conversation and therefore narrative - the way the woman grips the receiver so tightly, you can only wonder what was just said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633213264683-6GF89K57MV390I48DUDS/Untitled+design+%281%29.png 30 Day Gallery - Leah Biggs - I love the ink drawings for their dexterity between abstraction and realism. My favorites depict a stack of Bigg’s beloved suitcases. I would have a hard time choosing between the more figurative and the abstract. I think what I like most is the theme and variation study of two, or three, of them side by side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633213367653-NT9QB8EQWRKGL1WNM0WF/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.14.53+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Leah Biggs - As I wrap up my 26th interview I am touched by this image, how much I value a good conversation, and how this artwork is a great reminder of how we need to maintain friendships and find time to enjoy sharing ourselves with one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633212980167-HIS07FZENG34BLF93T5I/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.13.18+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Leah Biggs - Leah Biggs “Her black and white world speaks of simplicity and containment, while stylistic details speak of an artist who has a handle on their own core aesthetic values.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633213061046-AJDWQGPLIXLLYO3NVHLT/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.13.51+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Leah Biggs - Day 26 introduces Leah Biggs and her charcoal and ink drawings. I have always loved the power of black and white which is why I am drawn to her work. Film noir inspired images allow Biggs to draw many of her favorite objects like old rotary telephones, typewriters, radios, suitcases and record players. It’s a joy to talk to her about her art making process and find out we share a love of thrifting. “I don’t buy things online though. I much prefer going to actual thrift stores and fully engaging in the hunt for vintage things with true personality,” she says. She laughs at herself as she tells me about her love of old suitcases. “I got rid of one once but then really regretted it,” she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633213337121-UT8JMUV85QKATICC43I9/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+4.14.43+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Leah Biggs - Behind her in her studio hangs the canvass she is currently working on. I detect an added layer dimension, curiosity and relevance in the work. The image is modern and effortless. A figure wearing jeans and sneakers, lays on their back, talking on the phone. The top half reclines outside the frame, directing our focus on the telephone cord, twirled around the finger. The story is relaxed and unassuming but the figure - presumably today’s teenager talking on an old rotary phone – staging a situation that is more or less an impossibility. She brings into question that which now may be lost on a new generation - the art of conversation. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n-xgs85 monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211851777-4UO7Z3G9BVBALK7XGU9A/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.52.22+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Marleen Vermeulen - Describing her transformation as an artist, she emphasizes a personal transformation she feels as inseparable from her art. Her pathway forward depends on the receptivity, authenticity and growth of her own heart. Moving closer to nature ultimately supported her spirituality and initiated an unstoppable momentum. It sounds like the idyllic, dream come true situation, but at its core, Vermeulen made some hard and strong decisions. She made life as she knew it work for her, re-shaping her inner life so the various twigs and branches were organized as a whole. These are the observations and experiences she brings to her painting and the kinds of feelings she shares with her audience. Uncomplicated, even sober, but alive with possibility. For me her work represents a new kind of luxury, both modern, mindful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211823951-B9VKJ6LGOTH573DLC35A/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.52.01+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Marleen Vermeulen - Vermeulen describes her transformation starting with weekly life drawing classes she held in her community. She became interested in the Westcoast theme. Her sketches of bark, sand, water, and moss were free, but her formal painting she described as too constraint. She made small works in the beginning, like tiles, one hundred of them to be assembled as a very large abstract installation for a hotel. She eventually found her way to large canvasses where she felt she could immerse the viewer in the emotion she wanted to convey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211872731-YYCTMXCRTO1ZPUCAZE7D/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.52.32+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Marleen Vermeulen - All work of Marleen Vermeulen available at present, is listed on the website of the Kurbatoff Gallery in Vancouver.

Her decision to move to the Sunshine Coast was made with reluctance, ultimately to serve her family. She thought she would go back to work when her children started school but the kind of design-work she enjoyed was not to be found in a less populated area. It was a long transition in the making. “I was an award-winning designer in London,” she says, “I thought this place was going to bury alive.” But eventually she realized what she needed to do was embrace her situation and commit to her artwork like never before. “A friend said it was like a cork coming off a champagne bottle,” she says. She started by committing 90 minutes a day to painting. “I had so many reasons not to paint, but once I made that small commitment I began to gain traction,” she says. Now she sees things differently and believes the space around her has helped to create space within her. Before moving she says, “culturally I felt more pressure and expectation, I think having to do with overpopulation at its base.” Today she describes her painting practice as luxurious, meaning she has gallery representation and sells everything she paints. “Nothing gets stuck,” she says. My personal favorite is the bird’s nest series, of which she estimates having sold fifty. Marleen Vermeulen’s other series include forest-scapes and ocean-scapes, each offering the viewer a very different experiences of nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211703023-QQACFXK9EO74EHSQEDOQ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.53.13+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Marleen Vermeulen - Marleen Vermeulen “Marleen Vermeulen’s work represents a new kind of modern, mindful, luxury.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211736728-OS3958V101BX579ON3SG/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.51.29+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Marleen Vermeulen - Day 24 introduces Marleen Vermeulen, who paints on the Sunshine coast surrounded by the splendors of nature. Her paintings are essentially landscapes, but feel more modern, with an underlying quiet minimalism than expected of a traditional landscape. For me, her work meets in the middle between abstraction and realism. Standing back from her large-scale works, they offer an incredibly realistic experience, but close up she captures a dynamic play of light that can appear chaotic and emotional, the way I imagine an abstract painter might instinctively compose a canvass. “I only paint what I have experienced. My paintings are about recreating a particular feeling,” says Vermeulen. She may take photos of her subjects on her phone, but when she paints, her goal is to reproduce a particular moment she enjoyed in nature as opposed to replicate the image. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211204586-4I8GCZBN1D9E6HY2O7DI/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.42.17+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cliff Kearns - Day 23 introduces Cliff Kearns who work may be familiar, as he has frequently appeared in the ThirtyDayGallery. Looking at 30 different artists in 30 days is a journey. What I am noticed so far is growing appreciation for what women have done to the face of contemporary art. Because of their perseverance, the patriarchal strong hold ultimately had to loosen its grip and become inclusive of all sorts of out-of-the-box expressions where many of the old rules didn’t apply. As I work through artworks that range from a hand-knit rendition of Leonardo Da Vinci’s illustration of the woman’s uterus, to a yarn bombed bicycle, I notice my tastes shifting away from abstraction to embracing more figurative painters where I feel challenged by the graphic nature of the subject matter. Portraits by artists Ilene Bothma, Cara Gury, Sherry Wolfgang, notably all woman, come to mind, and now Cliff Kearns. An establish male artist, he has weathered the transformation of the artwork, transforming his own work right along with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211299118-3WVSY5XDZUTUYDF7O743/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.43.21+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cliff Kearns - He also became interested in numbers and began working a number into the composition of his paintings starting with one and working his way up. This can be in an interesting collector’s tool to track the evolution of the artist who is now working through his most mature work which combines the various art trends he has survived as artist. He also became interested in reclaiming wood and hardware resulting in textured collage of recycle material beneath the painted images. What I enjoy most about Cliff Kearns is the skilled work that goes into his images but also the underlying creativity that has allowed him to adapt and work through changing times. Earlier on in the journey I mentioned the classic mid-career slump that causes many artists to abandon their practice and to pivot in new directions. But Cliff Kearns is an artist, who with maturity and skill, has recreated himself and opened up a new-found freedom in the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211267898-3R9D0GED1WLKKGJ5PS0S/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.43.08+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cliff Kearns - But by the 2000’s portraiture had fallen by the wayside, and people were gravitating toward sculptural works, abstract painting and conceptual contemporary ideals. Kearns eventually moved from Toronto to Vancouver and started fresh, rebranding himself with entirely new themes and subject matter. A masterful painter of realistic images, he began painted light refracting through multifaceted diamonds. It’s a laborious process of meticulously taping off the clean hard edges of the diamond and the beams of light the reflect. He tells me they were inspired by his readings of a Franciscan Monk who wrote about the soul, likening it to a diamond. These works are simultaneously realistic, abstract, and beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211235295-O0KLYMDEBVBQ58LDZYZR/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.42.31+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cliff Kearns - Cliff Kearns enjoyed a 35-year career as a freelance illustrator, raising three children off the proceeds of his artwork. As a portrait artist, he enjoyed a steady stream of commissions, painting power portraits for Bishops, CEO’s and other high-ranking individuals. The image included here is called, “KAREN”, and depicts the director of the Westland Gallery where he was represented. And as a fun fact worth knowing, Cliff Kearns is the only officially endorsed painter to have captured the image of our Canadian hero, Terry Fox in a tradition oil painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633211155531-8YJWBFWKKIQGIW58SSL2/Screen+Shot+2021-10-02+at+3.44.21+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Cliff Kearns - Cliff Kearns “Cliff Kearns is an artist, who with maturity and skill, has recreated himself and opened up a new-found freedom in the process.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n-xgs85-4psyc-33tnl-39dtb-dstpp-bbbaa-xkd5k monthly 0.5 2021-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633363454274-VCWUPRJNZRJ3KMIY8ZDX/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+10.02.00+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Thomas Anfield - Day 30 features artist is Thomas Anfield, and a finale to this journey interviewing 30 artists in 30 days (it actually took me 43 days). Conversations have been nourishing and I am left believing artist are the best people in the world. I have interviewed a wide range in terms of both style and stage of career, and for me, Anfield represents the best of the best. In a career where survival is success, Anfield speaks humbly of the honor he feels in simply being an artist. On one hand he takes away the magic, describing how he shows up to paint the same way anyone shows up for any other job. Then he adds, “While I’m doing my job, my art is out there doing its job too. People hang my artwork in their homes, and it may stay there forever. Children grow up, perhaps looking at one of my paintings everyday of their lives,” he muses. The magic of art returns when we consider the implications of how any one of his paintings might be affecting the people who live with them - the kinds of thoughts, feelings and imagination they have inspired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633363527181-Q4SXWPSXYV6SOFWBKMP5/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+10.00.39+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Thomas Anfield - “I am becoming more interested in group dynamics and portraying of power structures,” he says. I smile inside when I learn that Anfield actually stages all the sock puppet vignettes before he paints them, “I paint true to life,” he says. His compositions can be complex and I can only imagine how significant the mere stage of his scenes is to his process. His images capture much more than sock-puppet whimsy. My favorite is Ship of Fools depicting several monkey, skeleton and animal characters confined to a cardboard lifeboat. A puppet in a linen nightdress hangs off a make-shift mast. She doubling as a guardian angel and wind catching sail to the fools below. There is so much going on in this painting I find myself injecting a kitchen sink full of references into it- everything from Francisco Goya’s sense of humor, to the last conversation I had with my neighbor where she told me Covid forced her to think about who she might want in her own metaphorical lifeboat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633363607772-7VAEJA92NTGSIT46ANRI/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+10.01.43+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Thomas Anfield - Thomas Anfield paintings are most often shown at the Petley Jones Gallery in Vancouver where he has been represented for most of his career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633363502478-NN5PYBOW83LK5SU4YH2Q/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+10.00.25+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Thomas Anfield - Anfield’s art practice revolves around figure painting. He even became a dancer to deepen his understand the human form. Adding performance artist to his resume, Anfield founded the company Butoh-a-gogo, based on the Japanese dance form, Butoh (a dance performed in white body paint where the body is viewed as a slow-moving landscape). Practicing and performing Butoh caused Anfield to make his own observation, in which he came to understand himself, in the role of dancer, as a kind of puppet to the dance. From there he began painting sock puppets. And his sock puppet paintings resonate with audiences. “I could paint and sell two sock puppets hugging all day long if I wanted,” he says. Anfield is the lucky artist that has to worry about the popularity of his subject matter, turning his art practice into an exercise in mere production. But Anfield is established enough as an artist to know how to balance production with fresh creativity and innovation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633363567006-GU4H4XO2LER4HFWSB2NA/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+10.01.23+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Thomas Anfield - Anfield also likes paints he and his wife. He married another artist and their marriage has become the subject of several painting. I have to ask, “what kind of things in your daily home life make you to want to paint?” It is an awkwardly worded question, but still, I am surprised by his struggle to answer it. He rambles on for a couple sentences then lands on the most perfectly honest answer. “It’s love, I guess. I am just painting moments that I relate to, and hope others can relate to, as love.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633363416501-4XQTVBQPAT5APUKRUZZ4/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+10.02.51+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Thomas Anfield - Thomas Anfield “There is so much going on in this painting I find myself injecting a kitchen sink full of references into it- everything from Francisco Goya’s sense of humor, to the last conversation I had with my neighbor where she told me Covid forced her to think about who she might want in her own metaphorical lifeboat.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n-xgs85-4psyc-33tnl-39dtb-dstpp monthly 0.5 2021-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362434890-1YCP6L8GV4VVNQA5XR4R/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.40.28+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Nora Maccoby - Ultimately she found many of the images sourced from her own subconscious were in fact messengers from indigenous people. “It’s like the gods were all fighting to be heard inside me,” she says. "My mother was dying for 3 years. During that time I wanted to paint for her, maps to travel through death and rebirth so she wouldn't be afraid." Committing solely to the canvas, she immersed herself in painting, discovering a spirituality within that sought its own healing and transformation. “As within, so without,” she says, “there is no separation.” Her art became an effort to mediate, and center herself while coming to understand how spiritually, in all forms, can peacefully intersect on earth and in her own being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362335753-908WFMR7LFFOHT6D9N5W/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.40.45+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Nora Maccoby - Nora Maccoby “Working with a visual language, using color and the Fibonacci series to compose images, she directs the power of breath to the psychic core where there is no separation, just a breathing center of humanity.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362372588-LQJMU066KBVRS2RUXVYG/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.39.52+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Nora Maccoby - The artist for Day 27 is Nora Maccoby. The work of Nora Maccoby ambitiously sets out to uncover a language of the unseen world. Daughter of a renowned psychoanalyst, investigating the subconscious is something she has been surrounded by her whole life – along with artists too. Going back generations, she cites all the women in her family that were skilled in painting. She talks about the great abstract expressionist, Mark Rothko, as her grandfather's best friend and his legacy - that the practice of art is a spiritual meditation and life long study of what is God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362522717-9CNQTQ8QR023HOXZMZ8W/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.41.02+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Nora Maccoby - Other works by Maccoby include a collection of portraits and written works including, Identity Cartography: Maps and Symbols for the Heterarachy, and The Intelligence.

Dissuaded by the arbitrary nature of the New York art world, she studied film, working as a screenwriter in Hollywood and London, but found the world of illusions leading her to want to influence reality. A near death experience turned her toward Washington, DC and environmental activism. She looked at the challenge of making positive change against a death cult as performance art. Her interests remained akin to an anthropologist, gathering information by engaging with indigenous people. She learned from plant medicine, quantum physics, and ancient philosophies while continuing to paint her dialogue with the invisible world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362473624-Q5ZMNY8QXDZB2XSF26MF/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.40.45+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Nora Maccoby - “Power the center and dance with your friends,” she says. These are the words that came to her through one of her paintings. In a time of extremism around the world, she has found a grand sense of purpose. Working with a visual language, using color and the Fibonacci series to compose images, she directs the power of breath to the psychic core where there is no separation, just a breathing center of humanity. Today, a collection of fifty of Maccoby’s images she describes as guardians, time travelers and portals are being published as an oracle deck of cards. Writings on each image and a forward by Deepak Choprah help interpret the images such that they become prompts for spiritual openings, breath and healing. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-six-4lem3-68gfn-d9szd-ya8ts-b36cr-fsx7n-xgs85-4psyc-33tnl-39dtb-dstpp-bbbaa monthly 0.5 2021-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362814660-954KN96ENPF5VYUT8C0Y/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.51.22+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Luan Nel - Luan Nel “…rather than convey solitude and introspection, Nel’s wind-blown, up-in-the-air narative of falling leaves has me looking to the horizon, reaching for hope and optimism once again” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362905398-K0QT4ENTPXH8Z4FB7ELV/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.51.40+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Luan Nel - Nel is a dynamic and charismatic communicator. Our conversation moves between subjects as vast as drag as a form of “identity lifting”, to land ownership in South Africa. He has always had left leaning political views and, “as an artist, my voice is a queer voice,” he says. In the same broad stroke, he addresses colonialism, saying as a South African, it is something we have to contend with on a daily basis. At some point I make an effort to move the conversation to his artwork where his multifaceted ideas comes together as a well-rounded point-of-view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362839577-F538UZ1D0KFSALGH2J5C/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.51.12+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Luan Nel - Day 29 features South African artist Luan Nel. I decided to reach out to Nel because everywhere I look these days, I am seeing South African artists. I am not going to gallery openings due to Covid, so I can’t tell if South Africa is a thing right now, or if it is just what my search engine is feeding me. I decided to call artist and gallery owner Luan Nel to find out what is going on. Here is what happened. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362879200-2VC6DN2CR5L19MEFRCJQ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.51.22+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Luan Nel - Historically speaking, what I describe is nothing new. "The art movement around apartheid gave South Africa a distinct voice that resonated around the world,” say Luan Nel. “We are used to garnering attention, and in hard times we gain even more attention.” Nel looks to what he thinks will be difficult future and has been bad governments of the past. In times like these, when systems fail us, art naturally comes to the fore. “And people are listening,” he adds. “Or, maybe South Africans artists just shout a bit louder,” he says with a laugh. Luan Nel’s gallery is located on one of the best streets in Cape Town. He opened just months before Covid and considering circumstances, he is doing surprisingly well. His vision for the gallery borders on philanthropy. He cares deeply about artist relationships and if he can do nothing more than change the power dynamic, and not talk down to artists, he says he will have accomplished something important. Coming from a generation of Post-Structuralist/Post-Modernist artists who were taught to do as many things as possible, it is a natural step for Nel to jump into the business of curating and selling art. “I have never subscribed to the artist-as-genius working in isolation. And I have always written my own press releases” he says. Image; masks in storefront window. His view form the gallery, an ironic nod to “inauthentic” African Masks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362951251-1KGOPF87EPED6Z6QOKDC/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.51.51+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Luan Nel - “I guess you could consider me a landscape painter, but really I do anything -video, installations, or whatever the project takes.” The politics of his paintings are not overt, but he has come to the conclusion ownership is not a fixed concept “All you really own is the view in front of you. Not the land, just the view and what you see. This same view will belong to anybody else, once I vacate this exact space for it to be occupied by another. A Landscape belongs to no-one in perpetuity, and yet, this is exactly the case, instead it belongs to us all in the moment.” he says. Luan Nel wakes up every morning at 4:30am to see the sunrise and what he describes as the most hopeful time of day. He posts a picture of the sunrise every morning as an artistic gesture in and of itself, then paints landscapes of “#luansview”. Some of his ‘pandemic painting’ series depict the same view of the city from his home studio balcony, but they are filled with windblown leaves illustrating an everything-up-in-the-air quality brought on by the pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633362980072-EPI1L5FVJ9V5DHGGA9H7/Screen+Shot+2021-10-04+at+9.52.02+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Luan Nel - He adds to the conversation, “I belong to the rainbow generation. I lived the euphoria of 1994 when apartheid finally ended. The Berlin Wall had already come down and we had nothing but hope and optimism. It may have been naïve, but it was real, just as real as the cynicism of today.” Hope and optimism remain Luan Nel’s nature, but his outlook is no longer so. “Twenty-seven years later and we are once again just as divided as before. But this time we are poorer than before.” Our conversation circles back to address the current attention on South African art. I feel like I have found a friend in Luan Nel, someone who believes as whole-heartedly as I do, that art holds things together when all other systems fail. I feel affinity for what he describes as the ill effects of divisiveness and how it affects his experience as an artist in South African. I leave the conversation appreciating not just the skill of his paintings, but the concept that holds his landscapes together as a cohesive body of work. Falling leaves in the foreground draw our attention to nature’s cycles. Paying closer attention to nature, placing it more in the foreground of our lives, appears to be a trademark of 2020. But rather than convey solitude and introspection, Nel’s wind-blown, up-in-the-air narrative has me looking to the horizon, reaching for hope and optimism once again. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-five-ga8ea monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633113107954-OLY3YAQUG8G9JNPUSCNR/Patrick+Meagher5.png 30 Day Gallery - Patrick Meagher - No sooner than I make this connection with technology, I learn about another of Patrick’s projects. He is cofounder of Walters’ Cube, the Virtual Reality app allowing art galleries and artists to display their art online in a 3D space. Walter’s Cube pre-existed Covid-19 and thus with perfect timing, was ready to receive the mass movement toward selling art online, and fulfilling the need for art buyers to have an improved viewing experience on-line. I think I will have to check out Walter’s Cube, I mean, download it right now! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633112893244-5B0ZCRRPEZKXTQHDTLIZ/Patrick+Meagher3.png 30 Day Gallery - Patrick Meagher - These conjured symbols make are what make up a well defined iconography and the building blocks of his garden. He lists them as follows; Lateral blue S curves = the winds of change; Green W’s like three blades of grass = growth, black sawhorse or stylized equestrian fence = obstacle; red knotted pretzel = Love, diagonal yellow lines = energy. It is an exciting time for the artist who took what he calls a “detour” to attend Harvard’s School of Design. The program catered to his interest in public art, emphasizing the potential for greater social impact. Today his studies and research are paying off, as he turns his attention to Lexington, New York. The small hamlet with a history of art studios and live theatre will inevitably feel the effects of becoming the home of Meagher’s LineLand– a garden meditation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633112837300-T04FBJZ77YZQHH39RP6P/Patrick+Meagher2.png 30 Day Gallery - Patrick Meagher - Quite frankly, I didn’t understand the watercolors at first. Pleasing enough to look at, but I might describe them as thin on pigment and detail. But Patrick explains there is a language to the work, a set of symbols in a varied compositions, as if these symbols appeared on a watery surface of an otherwise still mind. “When I paint these, I am making space in the “picture plane” with cloud volumes, floods of rays of light between painterly gestures and pools of color on a soft surface.” Apart from these few words, Patricks descriptions sparse, as if to leave a quiet space where I can realize for myself that what I am looking at is the meditator’s mind expressed as a garden. The paintings are more like 2D prototypes for potential space, an actual gardens filled with symbols that have flowered in his mind and matured over the past thirty years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633113036250-5UUWRTQUVLFN9AFC6A3H/Patrick+Meagher4.png 30 Day Gallery - Patrick Meagher - For a meditator, the mind as a garden is an apt metaphor, but for the artists, actually extrapolating the landscape of his mind and attempting to illustrate it in all its dimensions over a certain number of acres, now that is a lofty goal hanging somewhere in the balance between Virtual Reality and what I might call Reality - Virtual. What Patrick is proposing is merging of worlds, not only the physical and spiritual, but the technological and the spiritual. Merging worlds is Patrick’s thing, “The internet can help us understand the relationship between consciousness and sentient beings.” he says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633112469698-I12IF31ODZMVTTD5LG8S/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+12.20.33+PM.png 30 Day Gallery - Patrick Meagher - Patrick Meagher “For a meditator, the mind as a garden is an apt metaphor.

His garden sculptures are designed to come in three sizes, Large - “garden size”, Medium - “home size”, and Small - “desktop size” allowing people to create a mental garden space around one’s computer. “What I am selling as art is really a meditative device and an experiment in consciousness”, say s Patrick.

I am quarantined in my mother’s basement due to Covid-19 and what the border patrol called “non-compliant travel”. I am surrounded, floor to ceiling, by shelves storing my mother’s yarn, and knitting books. From this space I better understand what Patrick is accomplishing through his art. This basement suite is my mother’s happy meditative place, which she approaches with gratitude. I on the other-hand find it more like a prison. I am not engaging with the yarn as a meditative tool the way my mother does. Six days into a strike quarantine it is clear is I need to take up knitting like my sanity depends on it, otherwise spend the remainder of my 14 days meditating on the current arrangement of my own mental garden. I am beginning to like the idea that once this quarantine is over I fill my home, inside and out, with souvenirs of a quiet mind and these symbols of the various states of mind experiencing it own constant natural growth.

Coincidentally, we live on the same street in Noho, so our talk took place in his apartment where I was able to look at a series of watercolors hanging from the brick walls in his loft. “I paint one of these everyday” he said. The palate of soft pastel colors is carried over from a proposal he did for a mural on the wall of the famous Parisian macaron bakery, Laduree, for their Soho location in New York, but with New York boarding up its walls and windows, and while future closures remain a possibility, the mural remains uncertain at best. https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-four-s8w3c monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633040346761-XXNWKENNS6DHHDRPJ6MY/PIlar+Mehilis4.png 30 Day Gallery - Pilar Mehlis I love her work more by the minute. Relating her contemporary pieces back to her studies of Renaissance Art actually triggers within me a precious memory. I suddenly recall standing before Michelangelo’s Pieta, how it actually brought me to my knees, and tears to my eyes - a beautiful memory full of hope, despair, transformation and I dare say, the Holy Spirit. Attached to this memory is my recollection of a nearby art historian who I could overhear describing art as mainly “artifacts of perversion”. Only the rare example of art caused what she called “an aesthetic arrest”. Listening to Pilar Mehlis speak about 2020, the year she spent alone in her art studio, I feel the energy of being brought to one’s knees, “arrested”, and yet at the same time, wings unfurl in preparation for flight. For me this speaks to the depths of beauty, not as decoration, but as a real-life force and source of renewal. What an appropriate gift for my home at the beginning of a new year where hopes of a vaccination and newly restored life is on the horizon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633041000023-DROZR4XOONVQ1LMMQ3NU/PIlar+Mehilis5.png 30 Day Gallery - Pilar Mehlis As it turns out, I am not the only one drawn to this piece. She produced four of the sculptures for the East Side Culture Crawl, sold them all and has waiting list to produce more. Originally cast in polymer and bronze powder, she is now casting a new series in all bronze. I promised myself not to make a decision until the end of the month after I have looked at thirty different artists, but I am thinking regardless, I should get my name on the waiting list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633040280292-KP30NLRR38N36BERDJDD/PIlar+Mehilis3.png 30 Day Gallery - Pilar Mehlis Prior to Covid 19, Pilar was preparing for a solo show in Bolivia. Her drawings were well executed and concept clear. She had agreed to present 28 cast figures and was already working on their molds. Her attention was focused on production in order to create the 28 figures on schedule, but when the show was cancelled due to the pandemic, she was left with her molds ready to go, but no show, and no pressure to create. She went back to the studio nonetheless, but instead of speeding up production, she slowed it down. Her work with the figures become more personal, modelling them after a migratory bird that moves between Bolivia and Canada. “The time I spent alone with these creatures was very personal. It brought me to my knees”, she said. Rather than producing a series of multiples, each sculpture became a unique experience. As a result, her work speaks of transformation. More that illustrating an evolutionary process, she was in the midst of one. From my perspective, the work she produced in 2020 is a testament to spiritual strength, for her it seems it was about trust, which she underscores by adding it to the title of her piece, Passirin -Trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633040201939-BGKNPONDEHO1Y2INLDXV/PIlar+Mehilis2.png 30 Day Gallery - Pilar Mehlis At first, I did not give the winged objects much of my attention, but they were memorable. Then four months later, her half-human, half-bird, kneeling sculpture had me captivated. I knew I wanted one and decided to give her a call. Here is what came up. Pilar Mehlis was born in Bolivia and immigrated to Canada. Having just spoken to Robert Chaplin (Day 2) and Serge Ben Nathan (day 3) about the importance of illustration in their work, I thought I would ask the same of Pilar. I sensed an expression of embodiment in her work, so I expected a different answer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633039705195-2OP1KMWIUVL96ZWNE4MN/PIlar+Mehilis1.png 30 Day Gallery - Pilar Mehlis Day four introduces painter-sculptor Pilar Mehlis. I fell for Pilar’s work this past December when she was nominated for the Union House Artist of the Month. It was her second nomination. In August she submitted two playful, found-object, art pieces – a helmet and a Croc (yes, a gardening shoe) both with attached wings. I was interested in Pilar as an artist for showing stylistic continuity and dedication to a particular theme, namely the juxtaposition of human and animal forms, often portraying them as hybrid, mythological beings with wings. As an art buyer, it is exciting to follow an artist over time, and I find it reassuring when a career gains momentum around specific subject matter or themes they have grappled with over a long period. I believe narrowing the scope of an artist can reveal whether their art practice is about production and repetition, or if it gives way to discovery, and evolution, ultimately uncovering what might just be an original thought. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/b9d4de70-8145-4911-a02a-49cf2e8ec840/PIlar+Mehilis-Artist.png 30 Day Gallery - Pilar Mehlis - Pilar Mehlis “I believe narrowing the scope of an artist can reveal whether their art practice is about production and repetition, or if it gives way to discovery, and evolution, ultimately uncovering what might just be an original thought.” — Sandra Botnen https://www.theunionhouse.net/30-day-gallery/project-three-hn4n3 monthly 0.5 2021-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1626124313694-BTDJM1TF2PQE3MYYYWNH/La+Rencontre.+Salt+Spring+Island.++Italian+watercolour+paper%2C+38+1%3A2cm+X+58cm.+200g%3Am2.+Watercolour%2C+ink.+450.00%24.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Serge Ben Nathan A Canadian immigrant from France, Serge Ben Nathan remains quintessentially French, and his imagery reminiscent of Le Petit Prince. Seemingly void of any political motivation, I can’t tell if his work is effortless, or decisive in its rejection of the pitfalls of the human spirit. Speaking with the artist begins to shed light on his life story and the steadfast commitment behind his apparent effortlessness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1626124478011-K60XLNK26ETGWI1O022K/Le+Temps+des+G%C3%A9ants.+Times+of+the+Giants.+Watercolour+paper%2C+31cm+X+41cm%2C+300gm%3Am2.+Watercolour%2C+acrylic%2C+ink.+450.00%24.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Serge Ben Nathan It would be impossible not to carry such accomplishments into his paintings, which often depict surreal dancing figures in emotionally liberated states. A modern-day Chagall, his works are weightless and full of heart. I became most interested in his series called “The Giants” which seem to create a full circle for the artist where his painting illustrate the dance, his dance illustrates the mythologies of big emotions, and his life illustrates the poetry of heart-felt living. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633101725933-STZYYQC4POLPKX27UQ5B/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+9.10.08+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Serge Ben Nathan - Serge Ben Nathan “Artists are like puzzle pieces.

Robert Chaplin, the rugged disestablishmentarian carver/illustrator, rubs elbows with illustrious outsiders like punk rock icon-celebrity shoe designer John Fluevog and unnamed motorcycle gangsters, meanwhile, the monk-like Serge Ben Nathan is more at home in the concert Halls of Canada’s Arts Center or Paris Opera. What aligns them is their penchant for storytelling, untangling the conflict of contrasting narratives while illustrating them using humor, and light-hearted play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1626124388299-FALJYL89C2TYMCDC4EGU/Tournesols+Rouges+et+Jaunes%2C+champs+de+Lavande%2C+pr%C3%A8s+de+la+Colline+St+Jacques%2C+Cavaillon%2C+Provence.+Arches+Watercolour+paper%2C+76+1%3A2cm+X+58cm%2C+300gm%3Am2.+Watercolour%2C+acrylic%2C+ink.+850.00%24.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Serge Ben Nathan “My whole life has been a war against cynicism”, says Ben Nathan. Normally calm and oozing with a charming sense of simplicity, it takes some goading to activate the kind of firey energy it takes to fuels an artist for over forty years across two distinct disciplines. Now concentrating on painting and drawing, Serge Ben Nathan is one of Canada’s most distinguished choreographers. As Artistic Director of Toronto’s Dancemakers for over a sixteen-year period, he established a stylistic consistency of emotional expression through his dancers that became internationally acclaimed and sought after by the likes of Ballet BC, National Ballet, and Canadian Opera Company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1626124551673-S2BUXGAN8IPJANRG8SHN/Tell+me+something+the+world+do+not+see.+Italian+watercolour+paper%2C+200g%3Am2.+38+1%3A2cm+X+58cm.+Watercolour%2C+ink.+450.00%24.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Serge Ben Nathan “These are the times have to rely on our giants” he says. That same firey energy returns and I realized his war on cynicism has not always been a series of won battles. “I overcame cancer” he said with an implied “basta” or “end of story”. His statement merely put things in perspective as opposed to introduce a subject that held any interest for him. Serge’s colorful uplifting works speak for themselves, but to know Serge is to understand the humanistic accomplishment that ground him as an artist and gives his work importance. “We have to rely on our giants” says it all. This is perhaps the most concise and compelling artist statements I have come across and my top reason for wanting one of these canvasses on my wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/db49d353-d15e-48ba-a71c-5a1cb01816a1/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+9.13.26+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Serge Ben Nathan "Blue Giant.

What originally attracted me was the lightheartedness of his cast in bronze, silver and 18K gold, life-sized Brussel sprouts. As a carver, his prefers tools and materials that lend themselves to small sized works. “I do not like the idea diminutive pieces,” he adds. “I want my subject matter to be actual size”, he says. On the subject of brussel sprouts, says he likes to anthropomorphize them, calling them “the most divisive of all vegetables”. “Its their oppositional nature that attracts me and makes them worthy subjects. People love to love them, or love to hate them,” he says, confiding that he personally dislikes them. Though, ultimately he is grateful for the vegetable that launched him into a kind of Brussel spout fame. Along the lines of the well a travelled garden gnome, the sprout has been photographed all around the world and he has attended numerous dinner parties where the controversial vegetable was served in his honor. For those who don’t like Brussel sprouts, and plan to attend a holiday dinner, he recommends carrying one of his pocket-sized sculptures. “When the bowl of sprouts is passed around the table, you can politely say, “No thank you. I brought my own”, placing one of his 18 K gold carvings next to their plate.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1625597679953-BLD55QF9ALWS5ZOY1JN9/image1-6.jpeg 30 Day Gallery - Robert Chaplin Having spoken to Robert for over an hour, I was sold on his work. I had no idea why I needed a brussel sprout, but I did. It would do very little to cover the walls space in my home it was trying to fill, but it didn’t seem to matter. Pocket sized art meant I could take it with me anywhere. In the end, the integrity of this artist makes him a purely Canadian conundrum of identity by virtue of not being overly interested in recognition and identity. His work speaks for itself as does he, and his voice is an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to cultural relations. For me, his work cast in bronze, silver and gold are timeless, they speak to a peaceful co-existence within a nation and ideals that give way to lasting value.

But the political predicament of the First Nations people is not his to illustrate. Instead he looks to his own predicament which has him playing in perhaps a shallower pool when it comes to the politics of a nation. His series titled Barrel of Monkeys - Full Fathom Firkin, looks back at the Hasbro toy of the 70’s that he played with a kid. Linking the monkeys arm in arm was not that interesting but it would have to do as entertainment at the cabin where there was nothing else. His first casting of the iconic S shaped monkey was genderless. “Originally, the monkey had no junk” he said. Later he decided to recast a new series of monkeys with male genetalia, and female genetalia. “He’s. She’s. And They’s!” he says displaying them over Facetime, and showing me the added details. Chaplin shows no apparent interest in gender identity politics but I detect an excitement of energy surrounding the paradigm shift from a genderless barrel of monkeys to a new breed of multi-gendered monkeys and its possible implications. Another catalyst for Robert Chaplin’s trademark sense of humor and freedom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1625597555328-MVOLZV9Z1GJ6OWMC5D6S/image1-5.jpeg 30 Day Gallery - Robert Chaplin Robert Chaplin grew up in Smithers, BC, where his first encounters with sculpture were the Totem Poles of the Gitxsan people. The irony and humor of his work may well trace back to this very predicament. The poles he admired as a child belonged to a story-telling culture and the people indigenous to that land. Story-telling is at the heart of Chaplin’s work, but the stories of the Pacific Northwest carvers were not his stories to tell. “The Lorax does not get to speak for the trees”, he repeats. It is a strongly held belief that seems to humble, temporarily limit, and ultimately define him as an artist. He is well versed in the political underbelly of Canada and issues surrounding The Indian Act. He moves carefully around the subject, not out of political correctness but rather an appropriate respect and understanding of cultural appropriation and its violation on a peoples’ dignity. He tackles the subject matter is his piece, Raven Transforming into a Lawyer, which illustrates the disfunction of Canada and its existence on stolen land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633100766230-1T31B9WEPV5S9GXKKCJM/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+9.03.04+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Robert Chaplin - Robert Chaplin “Having spoken to Robert Chaplin for over an hour, I was sold on his work.

Behind her is a shelf of rodents preserved in jars of alcohol. “They lighten over time and begin to look like angels”, she adds. I am fascinated by the animated looks on the critters’ faces, as if suspended in moments of pure aliveness, each inside their jar. At times, Gennaro’s art practice has involved cleaning the tiny mouse bones, as well as the bones of chipmunks, rats, and voles - a mourning ritual historically reserved for the most distinguished family members. As Gennaro walks me through her home and gallery, her reverence for these little critters is palpable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1625595237659-E3HSFXTMM3FNYIXAR7S3/IMG_0208_2.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Jane Gennaro Gennaro’s visual work has garnered the attention of numerous art publications including d'Art International, Digital Photoplay, and M magazine, and featured in fashion photography essays for See.7 and Blush magazine in Paris. You can learn more about Jane’s life story on the interactive website Performing Arts Legacy, which documents the careers of important New York City based artists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1633100021662-0M5P7NT3CZ85MDWTD72J/Screen+Shot+2021-10-01+at+8.53.04+AM.png 30 Day Gallery - Jane Gennaro - Jane Gennaro “I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Gennaro in her upsate New York studio where stimulating conversation led to a tour of her private home - a cabinet of curiosities on a grand scale. And Jane herself - perhaps the most eccentric woman I have ever met, along with sane, grounded, gentle and funny.” — Sandra Botnen, curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1625595063917-RZKTF98ZOGPY1F8R1CZN/TRIO+copy2+copy-2.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Jane Gennaro Jane Gennaro is the perfect artist to launch this thirty day journey because her art speaks to that unknowable quest that lies at the heart of every collector. She reminds me of an aristocrat explorer gathering bugs, flora and animal parts from far flung places (in her case, nooks and crannies of the New York Subway and the bucolic hills of upstate New York). Cabinets overflow with personal artifacts and spare rooms are used to stage vignettes depicting cycles of life, death, recovery, and rebirth. I have stepped into a world steeped in adventure, humility and playful self discovery through the gathering of symbolic objects. Together they create a language, and from there they create a story that is fascinating, exciting, and not yet complete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7cf1767a663a1b67e5c10e/1625595098807-A83M9TBKARH7D49L6WI5/fatso-cutout-no-lips-with-grey-copy_1.jpg 30 Day Gallery - Jane Gennaro To kickoff this journey, getting to know thirty artists in thirty days, I am choosing the most accessible of Gennaro’s works, a series called “Feed the Models”. These images start out as fashion magazine cutouts, used to makes stencils of misshapen bones in awkward poses, embossed on dibond. The images were first seen in 2011 at a show titled after the series, “Feed the Models” and exhibited at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. I have seen three of these pieces hanging side by each above an extra long sofa in New York City. The impact was dramatic, the work has wall power and set a tone for the space as both sexy and sophisticated.
