Mixed Media Excavation Series







What I find so luxurious about working
with
mixed media
is the opportunity to play...
bend rules and just experiment...






Work in Progress, Caterina Giglio, Mixed Media 



last month I had a little break through in my 
Art Journaling pages..
which you can see 
right here.. 






As If, Excavations Series, Caterina Giglio, Mixed Media




I was so fascinated that I kept working 
on small scraps of mixed media papers.. 8 x 8 and 
this one above is only 5 x 7
titled, As If...

My Excavations Series
  is about revealing the hidden layers..







Detail from As If, Caterina Giglio, Mixed media






in relationship..
those closest to you..
the ones you struggle with..










I know you understand dear reader...




Squared Off, Caterina Giglio, Mixed Media, 8 x 8



sometimes
they leave you ragged..
unruly..











I am thinking that I will mount these on boards and that will
allow me to play on paper
until I feel like mounting them..










Once mounted I can sand and paint to edit, but the composition will
remain the same..

I am working with my mono prints and antique book pages,
and it has given me the textural feel that I wanted
to convey..
and I love the layers and textures...

and my intention is to work larger..





You Read About It In Books,  Caterina Giglio, Mixed Media, 8 x 8





In the studio this week
I will begin filming my new video on
the creation of my new travel journal..
from my Antique photo album..

and I hope to find time to get back to my water painting..

since I have some new portraits in mind..
and I am lusting over the space the large piece occupies..

also submissions are in the works..

and I just found out that my Sew Somerset Article and art is being delayed from 
June 
until 
December... 
so 
gentle reader...
 we will just have to
wait..



Ciao, Ciao!!
