From sherill at sagworks.com Wed Apr 1 22:14:46 2009 From: sherill at sagworks.com (Sherill Anne Gross) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 22:14:46 -0400 Subject: [Sagworks-art] sagworks blog - February and March 2009 update Message-ID: --News-- Sorry for skipping a month of updates - I spent the month of January and part of February framing one-a-days in preparation for an upcoming show. I framed 145 pieces in 6 weeks. Since this show date is still pending I am offering the original works for sale again until I know when the show will be happening. I have created another video of me working - this time from start to finish of a piece. It is quite a long video and I have not had a chance to edit it yet, but watch my blog for the video when I get it edited. I hope to get it completed in the coming weeks. --Upcoming Events-- I will be having Open Studio this Sunday (April 5) from 1-4pm in my studio in Greenbelt, MD. I, along with other artists in residence, will be in my studio working. Stop by to visit. While there you can catch "Quest: Arts for Everyone" at 2pm for "Mosaic" a performance with both deaf and hearing actors, exploring societal pressures to conform and honoring the importance of individuality. (All ages. The work is serious in tone and addresses themes including discrimination). At 3:00pm, explore new ways of expressing yourself in a free visual theater workshop with the cast; everyone is welcome! From 1pm-3pm, learn basic American Sign Language signs and incorporate them into your artwork with Artist in Residence Tom Baker.

(02/06/09) -- See the completed Toe Shoes -- Doodle 1 I found this doodle in my college sketchbook. This work was created with the attempt to have a 3D effect while wearing 3D glasses - which I also made. (03/11/09) -- See the completed Doodle1 -- Match 6"x 4 " :: This has also been on my "idea wall" for quite some time. This was created for the National College Society Postcard show. Tried to work with this subject in more of an abstract way. (03/13/09) -- See the completed Match -- Fashion / Subtract Fashion This was an experiment based on the Illustration Friday theme of subtract. I have always wanted to use the leftover shapes in the paper to create works, so tried this technique out and really enjoyed myself (03/22/09) -- See the completed Fashion / Subtract Fashion -- Pinup2 This is the second pinup I've created. I have decided to forego the carpeting, and concentrate on the form itself. I am working on recreating this piece using the leftover paper shapes and should have that completed in the next day or two (03/31/09) -- See the completed Pinup2 -- --Show Information-- 01/14/09 - 04/15/09: 'Go Green' (Day 204 - Horizon), Prince George's Delegation Wing of the Lowe House Office Building, Annapolis, MD 03/01/09 - 05/03/09, Making Her Story, DC, MD, and VA (3 venues) more info Upcoming: 05/29/09 - 07/05/09, Artomatic, DC (Navy Yard Metro Station) Upcoming: 06/12/09 - 08/02/09, Allenton Gallery, Durham, NC (Reception 06/19/09) Upcoming: Solo Show displaying all 209 one-a-(week)day pieces, Brentwood Arts Center, Brentwood, MD (dates pending) Upcoming: January 2010, Ratner Museum, Bethesda, MD Upcoming: January 2010, R.
