Expanding on the last two posts...

Collection. I went for a walk along the coast and picked up pieces of glass and ceramic that had been washed ashore. I'm a little disappointed that the glass isn't very polished from the sea but there are still some interesting pieces. Not really sure what will come it it besides just a collection.

Trans. I started with the prefix to see what I could get out of it. I was building off the transfer ideas I've done before and them being transparent or translucent. I was trying to think of some other words that connect with what i'm doing and going through, transformation-changes in my life and studio practice, transatlantic-coming across the pond to Ireland, etc.
So I've tried to apply that to my work here. So far it's been really frustrating. I found some large chunks of glass from probably a window and wanted to transfer some of the photos i've been taking since I got here. This proved a bit difficult because the glass transfer process is a bit more complicated than just transferring to canvas. Heat is an important factor. I used my hair dryer. But even still, the removal process needs to be somewhat delicate as the acrylic medium can peal right off the glass very easily. I did manage to have some success but now I'm facing my common issue of "now what?"
