Shape of my heart

Working on a concept.  I tried the idea with a basic shape, and loved it!

Collective experimenting

Yesterday was a specially good day at Umbratorium.  Paul, Mary and I (no, my name is not Peter) got together to do some concept shots and little experimentation in the studio.

I am not going to reveal the details of the idea so as not to spoil the fun for later.  But, I had more inspiration than I thought I would get out of a test shot.  I guess, I managed to squeeze in some shots for myself, as well.

I am going through them; until editing is done, here are a couple moments from yesterday:

New studio space

I haven’t been keeping up with posting the “lab results” but  there’s been so much happening.

I have a lot to share for so much production took place in the last few weeks.  One good news that I am thrilled to share is that I am granted a visual arts studio residency from Charlotte Street Foundation Urban Spaces Studio Residency program. 

Yesterday, I attended the orientation meeting where I got a chance to meet with other artists and see my new studio.  I am very excited to set it up and start working. Umbratorium will move to its new work space this week.

One new personal project I came up with is to make a visual documentation of the process. How the studio is started and, hopefully, where it will be in one year from now.

There is so much potential, I cannot sit still.  It was also my birthday yesterday, so thank you, CHF  for the awesome birthday present!

Love in the Kitchen

Little collage for projection I put together the other night in Umbratorium. I had created the images for another piece but didn’t get to use them. Some of them are original, and some are found. The black angels and the princess are mythical drawings I found in some Islamic literary and folkloric works.

The lady on the right is a detail from a drawing I made a long time ago. She didn’t had either of her eyes. But when I placed her onto Rm41, my projector, little dust ball stuck under the glass gave her one of her eyes back. I thought, it look even creepier than before, so I kept it perfectly in place.

Now, we need a story to go with this. Once upon a time….

Sometimes, when the little bugs make holes in the core of you, when you’re eaten, spent, and fallen, you look the most beautiful.

Lab diaries…I guess.

Last night, right before going to bed, I decided to play with My Camera (that’s my camera’s name) and Rm41. I will post the other stuff we came up with later, but this was the most fun part, so I wanted to get them out.
