I am currently working in 4 to 5 sketchbooks and 2 writing journals. The visual diaries are entries and part of a daily practice. It becomes a part of my everyday routine and structure when studio painting sessions are unavailable to me. Even when there is a viable space in which to paint and spread out, I rely strongly on sketchbooks and writing journals. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">This type of experiential feedback process is similar to looking at mini clustering processes that some writer's use. Drawing, writing, composing music evokes a particular aspect of one's life content, and unfolds within it's own contexts. Distinctive systems, rhythms, style, movement and inner dialogue takes place between you and the work. </span></span><br />

</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">Not all entries are important. Sometimes a single drawing, or a group of them created on random non-consecutive days signify, affirm, and reaffirm something I am compelled to explore. I become excited when I review and flick through pages after weeks of playing in the books. This practice also has an element of showing me what I'm ready to discard, move beyond an idea, or begs a reason to return to the beginning.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">A sketchbook is like a 'pressure release system'. When struggling with direction and ideas, returning to these diaries help me reconnect and become inspired by my own ideas. </span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">These particular sketches represent a majority of the January entries which have been showing up consistently throughout the visual diaries. The cylinder and circular forms. The impulse to play between circles and grid based content come and go. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">Below are older paintings asking me to return for a closer look evoked by the current sketches. The separating of elements, even though gestures are small in the sketchbooks, motivates me to explore what is going on. Looking at these two previous paintings generates an inner dialogue and extends the range and possibilities of the next move -- giving me a subtle satisfactory nod toward consistent content. </span></span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">Sometimes anxiety and self-doubt plagues the artist most often than not.

The surface can be seen or felt. The optical equilibrium is repeated as a group or unit interacting between elements which move from a static to a dynamic field.</span></span></div><div style="font: 8.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">I always listen to music while I paint. Color and materials largely contribute to drive the process in the building and reductive placement of form and textures. The compositions strive to create the illusion of light, density and flow.</span></span></div><div style="font: 8.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

Through an intuitive organization of line, form and color, the paintings move forwards and backwards similar to rhythmic patterning and feelings in music. Like that of color systems, music creates a response to the cycle of motion that emerges in aligned concurrent rhythmic patterning.</span></span></div><div style="font: 8.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">The paintings find resolution through evolving organically while pushing and influencing spacial elements into a corner to work itself out. The process stops when the optical satisfaction lands a visual surface beat without losing the whole. A painting hanging off the obvious or illusive grid.</span></span></div><div style="font: 8.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since January, I began doodling and sketching at nite instead of keeping up with my journal writing. This cold winter in my Los Angeles loft cut my studio time short and a new strategy developed. The anxiety of shortened studio days of working on paintings led me to a funny idea of my "I can't sleep pages" as well as a "One Sketch A Day" process and discipline. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Staying engaged with art is extremely important as I have experienced many cycles of stopping and starting. The personal life challenges and big transitions continue to push-- keeping me digging deeper and learning faster and faster. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As artists, we can become limited by our inner and outter life disturbances. I've discussed this in other posts -- these changes whether positive or seemingly negative have an impact. The limitations when these unexpected periods occur, create feelings of failure and sometimes a loss of purpose for our intended dreams of wanting to follow the work with discipline, honesty and enthusiasm.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The longer I stay distanced from working, the more energy it takes for me to return. My return is about the regularity, discipline and engagement. Working within my sketchbooks has become an enjoyable and different kind of engagement. There is no pressure, no feeling of failure and a new format to explore. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Staying engaged with these art journals is cultivating patience and motivating a flow of discipline during a workflow adjustment. A type of waiting without feeling idle. As we know, waiting is a big part of the art game -- responses from the world frequently takes a very long time....if and when it comes. Making art requires waiting and very often while you're waiting, staying engaged is everything. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It would be nice to know what will happen with our work and our life, but we can't know. I find staying close to your work, whatever it is that works for you, facilitates maintaining one's mental health! Who hasn't experienced mood swings -- ups and downs... The shifts in our circumstances and mistakes in decisions and executions --not to mention lots of rejection and experiences of feeling dismissed. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Always a constant updating of your plan, especially now with the intensity of the internet and social networking media. Adjusting to our day to day life is more constant than we realize. The cold navigating comes when we are forced to be tougher with ourselves and forced to personally establish stronger boundaries to survive. More energy is demanded when adding in the factor of detaching from the work that is out of our reach, and making that shift to committing to new work that wants to come. Or, coming to terms with the reality that we can't make that shift or take that risk right now. It's never easy but showing up is still the ultimate bottom line. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here are some of the images from my pages that I feel most connected to right now.

Musicians call it "the groove", atheletes and artists sometimes relate this same feeling as being "in the zone". Whether in the 'zone' or in the 'groove', an artist finds the hours passing quietly-- in painting, writing, performing or practicing their art form. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

The comp and layers are appearing rhythmically repetitive and riff-like. Some recent feedback on the work has been referenced to music.

The form-color-harmony works itself out. A lot of the time, I paint myself into a corner not knowing what's going to happen. I have practiced not abandoning or prematurely destroying what isn't working. I step away, let the painting breathe and return later or work on another piece. These paintings are satisfyingly challenging as I push and pull the work to a new edge. My work concerns making serial paintings with complex comps, surfaces and color relationships leading to a moving rhythmic field.</span></span></span></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

I have traveled between my live/work loft space in Los Angeles to San Francisco for work/ family time. It has been a smooth transition outwardly with everything falling into place easily, but the internal adjustment has interferred with working steadily in the studio. </span></span></em></span><br />

The environmental adjustment and transition carries weight, but I have been persistent in pushing through by showing up in the studio.</span></span></em></span><br />

I realized several days ago that you must embrace the visceral sense that you can't skip the parts of the process! When it doesn't work out, you can't be attached. This attachment and disappointment brings on the coldness. Persistence and patience can feel unbearable at times especially when you know the work is wanting to move somewhere else. </span></span></em></span><br />

I have my ritual and it's simple. "Circles". That's it. When I'm stuck, I make circles with whatever is near -- pens, pencils, paints, crayons. It symbolized the circular flow of life. I do it for hours, days, weeks -- until I don't want to do circles anymore. And then, I shift. It's a form of warming up when nothing is calling me yet. I call my freeze an 'alienation from self'. This temporary disconnect that happens can disengage one from the artmaking process. </span></span></em></span><br />

Every encounter demands too much, tears the nerves, drains the will, and the specter of something as small as an unanswered letter arouses such disproportionate guilt that answering it becomes out of the question. To assign unanswered letters their proper weight, to free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves – there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect. Without it, one eventually discovers the final turn of the screw: one runs away to find oneself, and finds no one at home.</span></span></em></span></div>Cyndy Goldman Art Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14790994920448060589noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748835332414469268.post-77948495408149527452010-07-22T21:53:00.000-07:002010-11-30T00:26:23.919-08:00"Engaging Analog Drawings"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Whereas automatic drawing is about nothing in particular - just whatever the hand draws - an analog drawing is about a specific feeling. It's still a completely free drawing. You just pick up a soft pencil and watch the marks your hand and pencil make on the paper. You're releasing all control. (In my session today I used marking pens, crayons & colored pencils). </span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

The absence of routine for a certain length of time can become unnerving. My weeks are consistent for only one week at a time -- flipping from one home-base to another! I found myself obsessing over the frustration of not being able to paint! After a week of ignoring the urge to do something, today I made up my mind that I would engage in a positive obsession -- sketching anything that came to mind (analog drawings)! Fueled by the desire to paint, I shut out the anxiety (and pressure to make studies)...and with much patience I reached the trance state of working. It doesn't necessarily happen with only doing important or meaningful work. It happens when we engage long enough to let it happen. Not different than the state of watching our in and out breath during meditation and floating in that space between the breath or that space between our thoughts. </span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

In most analog drawing sessions you use a soft pencil and a smaller sheet of paper for direct problem solving (and usually in smaller increments of time). In these drawings there is a spiraling affect of chaos and order, attempt at a new pattern emerging, energy going up and down, harmony & complexities in color usage, tightness in the loops, going thru a tunnel with twists & turns, and some looping out of order which signals the upcoming changes in the next chapter of my life. </span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

Today I spent the afternoon sketching for several hours on the deck of my daughter's new home. Living without a studio for over a month now, I'm beginning to feel a buildup of stored energy -- missing my studio discipline. However, I am feeling pretty smart that I stocked 2 small pencil and pen boxes filled with Faber Castell's Soft Supracolor Pencils, PITT Artist Pens, Aqua Creta Colors, Caran d'Ache Painting Crayons, Wax Pastels, favorite Prisma sharpener, water pens, graphite pencils and the Tri Tip eraser! Yes, I'm happy I have something to draw, sketch and paint with! This withdrawal is pushing me into strange territory and bringing good information! </span></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"> </span></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">I am missing the daily routine of painting and the physicality of the action. I wouldn't call myself an "action painter", but working in multi-media (Encaustic, Oils & Acrylic) stimulates the need for dynamism while working. This place of loss and gain forces you to become acquainted with your true circumstances. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />
</span></span> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"> </span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">In this transition, the process is bringing me to the "thinking" place. My usual working method is intuitive, and the only preparation that takes place is the setting up of materials and my love of mixing paint -- creating polychromatic palettes-- a large part of my drive. I enjoy the alchemical process of experimenting with materials and expanding the possibilities. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

I find myself thinking every day about painting and discovering clarity through working within my sketchbooks and sketchpads. It's definitely presenting another chance to understand my process and my relationship with my process. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

Observing the aerial or tilt angles. Just today I remembered an early childhood memory-- watching my Dad drafting -- technical mechanical drawings. Watching him in production-- creating layouts, lines, dimensioning, text symbols, grids, etc. I was indeed mesmerized at his talent. He taught me how to hand-draw 2-D boxes, houses and rectangles. I can't remember how to draw them now. But -- something new is happening in my paintings and my relationship to them. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><br />

A painter goes to her studio to make meaning. How you fill periods between working productively and creatively can feel bad and frustrating when there is too much life. Whether you are experiencing the freeze, workspace changes, depression, new/old relationship issues, financial stress, and a big culprit for artists is dealing and recovering from rejection and disappointment. What are you doing to feel good when life gets bigger than the passion to make meaning? </span></span></span></span><br />

In my case, it's been a lot for a long time. A nice and very pretty big change. Leaving one city for another, and going to start a new chapter after 17 years of raising an Autistic child is pretty amazing. It's been hella difficult to sneak little shreds of life this way -- but women do it every day. When I am 'so calm' and 'disinterested' on the surface -- my closest friends know 'somethin ain't right'. </span></span></span></span><br />

It's satisfying the urge to paint as well as keeping me primed and ready to jump once I'm in my new Loft! Friends have been asking me, "What do you think you'll be painting when you get into your new Studio Loft?" I really don't know. Several weeks ago I started freaking out about it. Today? I'm enjoying the summer doing other things I love to do. </span></span></span></span><br />

Many of us use our notebooks very differently and some of us don't use them at all! Some artists have little moleskins, others use larger books for detailed sketches and some use them to outline and plan a project. Some of us have chalkboards, sketches taped up on our walls, some like to make drawings, sketches and or doodle randomly. I use my personal journals for writing in the morning and in the evening. My Studio notebooks are used 'inside' the studio. A blank page is always available next to my coffee, pencils and phone...a long time ritual. I like keeping notes on paint recipes -- especially detailed notes of making encaustic paints and medium. This detailed process began when working with encaustic--- becoming a chemist and conscientious technician with my materials.</span></span><br />

In these notebooks are great notes that are meaningful to me-- quotes, process notes and technical data that are truly valuable. Keeping track of all that I've explored, tested and resolved are tucked away in many volumes. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Looking over the Studio Notebooks tonite reinforces in me that there is no 'ending' to a particular work I make. The work continues and my process is moving forward and touching back in order to move forward each time I begin. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Here's returning again to the Poly Chromatic works that are driving me forward in the Acrylic medium. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> I started these yesterday. After finishing my latest painting, "Interior" -- and working steadily on the 'surface zero' project (taking down encaustic paintings to the core), I often take a break from the current work and return to another body of work that is still in progress. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">This allows me to recharge and working another medium simultaneously keeps my chops up. I am finding much satisfaction in the power of materials. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">These are 8 Acrylic paintings on 10x10 canvases. More fun studies while I continue to explore the gel mediums and pushing Acrylics to another level. I enjoy taking these oblique shots of the work in progress and it offers me new perspective all the time. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Hope your studio sessions are keeping you engaged and taking you to new places to risk beyond where you've been! Thanks for stopping by! </span></span></span><br />

I've noticed the amount of patience it's taking to stay with what's happening on the 'surface zero' project. Striving for the 'zone' and being 'absorbed' requires focus-- balancing the thinking and doing part. Do you have sessions where you are working faster than you should be? Not waiting long enough for a surface to dry, pulling off the tape too fast or too late, smearing an area by accident because you wanted to touch the not totally dried surface? I attribute this experience in my life to working under some level of anxiety and/or the complexities of handling mixed media. Or...the materials and handling of paint can't keep up with my brain. Whatever this is, it's part of the doing and learning every day. Working these larger panels takes muscle to move them around so I can work on other paintings simultaneously. No real staging area here...every work in progress has a personality of it's own. And, guess where it comes from? </span></span></span></span><br />

When you become aware of that content, the working calms down and the mind follows. (Sometimes 'awareness' sucks). More self-information and presence requires an ability to know when to step back and when to step forward. The truth? is doing more of what this is right now-- following the thread -- the information that's leading the way (you hope to somewhere that's meaningful to you). We want to wake up working but sometimes it's -- "what's next?" When I don't know -- I get in the kitchen and whip up something special that will turn out successful --- or the other day, left with laptop, moleskin and my Mocha to unexpectedly spend 5 luxurious hours at the bookstore absorbed with Twombly, Gorkey and retrospectives of many favorite artists...getting in those little satisfying ya-ya's can bring you back home inspired and relaxed....reading about the artist life brings sanity to your world.... </span></span></span></span><br />

You know the various kinds of resistance that we can think up to 'not show up'. We can feel fatiqued from so many things in life, and avoiding the work prompts me to figure it out. Usually I need to take a day off. Avoiding the work is having to face what it isn't doing and how to find the solution. Some days the energy is there to stick to it and work it out. Which ever way it turns out, I like spending the nites 'viewing' the work in progress. Talking to myself and facing what needs to be done in the morning is dealing. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3;">The work lately is continuing in it's transition. This painting is developing after 'taking it down'-- left traces of markings that engaged me again with using my range of materials. The switching back and forth with mediums has been a time of learning and making decisive decisions -- knowing when to stop puttering and backing up when you know it's not taking you there. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3;">Stalking the accidents and giving myself to the process is a lot of things right now. Creating and developing new techniques, waiting around, getting motivated, doubting, patience wearing thin, time-consuming, staying focused, etc... </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3;">It's no mistake that life collides or colludes with your work as an artist. If you track what's going on in your reality and notice what's happening in the studio -- truthfully, it's no surprise that you are working things out. But, being there, in the Studio requires discipline to shut out the yammering going on in your head so you can face the demands of what the work is demanding of you. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">The feel good moments happen when I can open up and go with the flow, staying with and watching my work going through a change. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about and have gone and come back from that place many times! And, the times that it takes you somewhere is what keeps motivating you to go there again and again. It definitely produces anxiety when you experience doubt or fighting with yourself. When your mind is telling you what you think you want to paint and then you let your instincts drive, it can be an unpredictable ride. You may not know where you're going exactly, but it's great to understand how your work patterns manifest. The work is always ahead of you! </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">Whatever is happening with the work...it's got to keep you interested to make you show up. Whether it's successful or not, the engagement is what counts with my working sessions. Pushing and pulling the work right now is what draws me back into it, but it is also exhausting and lots of hard work during this phase of change. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">My love of color, composition and grid continue to keep me excited...that I know for certain. So, leveling with the materials and staying long enough to work out the integrity is important... I think this is what gives space for making work that is yours and not like anyone else's, right? </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;">Process shots (thanks for the phrase Kirk) of a reworked painting "in process" from traces and markings of a closed form grid - 36"x36" on panel (2006)</span></span><br />

Haven't had much studio time on a regular basis and the absence of being absorbed really started draining me. </span></span></span></span><br />

Lately, life's been very engaging on multiple levels...but I know for me, I have to return to the work pretty regularly every day. I have goals and they seem to be getting further and further away as life spins new journeys/choices on a daily basis. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

There's a part of risk-taking that is maturing with me as I stick with learning how to listen. Are you familiar with gutting it through when deep down you know it's time to make that "U-turn" or maybe it's a matter of turning a 'new' corner? </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">I found this excerpt from a Brice Marden book, "Plane Image" -- Artists take risks to fight the threat of a creative death, Pollock once told the painter Peter Busa, "Go ahead, make a mess. You might find yourself by destroying yourself and by working your way out of it."</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">This absolutely speaks to me very loudly at the moment. I have enjoyed making a mess with changing mediums and destroying a few paintings by taking them down to the surface. In working with wax, it's easy to take it down. The butane torch, ceramic triangle and my power sander! </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

Are we surprised? Not really. Of course not! The disappointment was felt but I pushed forward. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

So, the work above is a continuation of what's still in progress with an older painting. Due to the surface markings and traces of what remained, it has me working very intimately with all my materials again. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

The grid obesssion continues. Stalking the accidents has been riveting and the happy accidents pull me in to make it happen again! </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

I love the traces of what was and creating wax-infused smooth finished surfaces. Something about creating depth with transparent volume, layering, leveling and manipulating the materials to relate to one another in harmony. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

You'll just have to see them up close and in the flesh real soon! Will continue on this one tomorrow and will start another surface zero panel that I prepped late today. My mantra for March is "Rock It" in the studio and don't let frustration get you down! Maybe it's time to make a mess and working your way out of it? I tend to work myself "inside" my paintings and have to figure the way out! </span></span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;">Taking it "downtown" this week in the studio has definitely got me dealing with the core. Actually, the real heart of my matters ( I know -- so transparent for my therapist -- I'll stay in denial until my morning session)...The down and dirty decisions have been made and I'm sticking to them. The progress above is happening slowly as the materials have kept me dancing back and forth. A very nice dance I'm enjoying and rocking with . (If you're a mixed media painter like I am-- you'll understand how one can become scattered like a feather!)</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;">This new painting is going to be one of 3 large pieces with a vision of joining an existing body of work. That impulsiveness to follow a random urge can be overpowering at times. I'm finding more comfort in the "focus" zone and listening to meaningful and practical decisions. It brings you back around to discipline or what I call "holding" some of those impulses at bay. Maybe that's not how you work or what you need in the studio, but the longer I paint and show up, it seems to be the deal breaker when I ignore what I know. After a while, the consequences of laziness, impatience and skipping steps backlashes. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;">It's not about being too rigid and uptight with experimenting, instead a finer ability to listen, act, look and wait. I'm excited about this cycle of intimacy in working with my materials, and how they are relating and reacting to one another. Integrating graphite, wax, pigments, oils, resin, acrylics, and polyurethane on various grounds and substrates turns me on! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;">This painting is changing as the materials relate to one another within the geometric grid. What's happening right now is the beginning... my intent is to allow the materials to adapt individually and yet push them to the limits to reach the same level of integrity for what it can do as an integrated whole. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;">Here's a peak at the next painting that is in the process of being taken "downtown". This was a mixed media encaustic painting with graphite and encaustic oil sticks (48"x48" wood panel). As I've talked about in an earlier post -- I always begin with the grid and here you see an incomplete gestural abstraction obscuring the truth. </span></span><br />

There have been the ups and downs in this process to arrive here, but a good leap in every step. And, the steps will keep coming because that's what it's about. Whichever way your work leads you, it's the reason for being in the studio. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br />

Music is my best friend-- it energizes my body to move, sing, swing, rock and feel good! Yeah, sometimes too much reality crushes your confidence and ability to participate in artmaking. So, try some bite-sized goals when it feels dry. Make some "down and dirty decisions" and take your work "downtown"... It's the human condition to feel depressed about how little we feel we accomplish. Don't let the outter conditions punch a hole in your dreams! Get inside them and see what happens! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

I realize that historically the function of painting large pictures is painting something very grandiose and pompous. The reason I paint them, however---I think it applies to other painters I know---is precisely because I want to be very intimate and human. To paint a small picture is to place yourself outside your experience, to look upon an experience as a stereopticon view with a reducing glass. However, you paint the larger pictures, you are in it. It isn't something you command. </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"> </span></span></div>Cyndy Goldman Art Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14790994920448060589noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748835332414469268.post-25296475954158475312010-03-03T20:30:00.000-08:002010-03-03T20:44:49.120-08:00Down & Dirty Decisions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

Something we live with daily and cope with in our own personal and private ways. There's nothing more important than to know how to work with anxiety, a slump, and making firm decisions. </span></span></span></span><br />

It isn't working and it sometimes turns into a shitty studio day. We all have them more than we'd like to admit. But, stumbling around with our materials often brings magic! This could be called 'rocking it'. And, returning to the studio to "rock it" is what it's really about. Hanging with the process. </span></span></span></span><br />

This packing things all back together feels right at the time we're doing it, but it makes things tighten up inside ourselves and shows up in our studio practice as well as the work. Rearranging art materials and OCDing around for a particular brush, X-acto blade or sandpaper gets old. Figuring out new strategies is key and I'm always discovering new things about myself every week. </span></span></span></span><br />

And, they sort of lay a little bit of pressure way way back in your mind? If you believe in Feng Shui (Chinese art of placement etc.) you'll know what I'm talking about. Ed Moses talks about 1 out of 100 paintings and the 99 go straight to the morgue! Yes, we all have a morgue and mine is a temperature controlled one that costs me money every month and is 45 mins. away! No more keeping this packed together! </span></span></span></span><br />

I made a firm decision. I built this birch panel myself (36"x36"x2"- mixed media painting) and was in complete self-trust mode of destroying it today. It felt great and I sat with it for a long time in between the deconstruction to listen. This is cultivating patience in the studio -- (every Facebook notification of someone's new work, show or recognition registers inside you... and living with keeping peaceful with where you're at right now is part of an artists' life --- 'what separates the amateurs from the professionals'...(my friend in art gently reminds me)... </span></span></span></span><br />

Scraping away layers of black wax, encaustic gesso, and acrylic had me covered in layers of flakes, dust and stickyness! What you see left are graphite lines that have been inlayed into the panel. Tomorrow we'll see what happens with more down and dirty decisions. I have 3 other large paintings to take down to the bare wood this month -- 2 at 48"x48" and 1 at 60"x60". </span></span></span></span><br />

<i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">What a photo -- not to mention how a family photo can make you feel when you were the youngest and can remember this very day! This is my Dad's family sans 5 missing siblings out of 12. (Yep, that's me -- front row to the right, next to my Mom). </span></b></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">So... you're probably wondering what this photo has to do with introspection? Today, introspection has led me to another form of expression through old photographs and writing. Isn't it interesting how you set up your day to paint or draw, get in some studio time, and life events take you someplace else just like that? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">Today, my someplace else has been very sad... a sudden family crisis has unraveled the neatness around my most thinly padded fear. You know -- that fear that we aren't going to live forever and that stark reality--we have or will lose our parents one day? My Aunt Lai (</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">she's in the photo directly above me to the left)</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"> suffered a bad stroke over the weekend and is in ICU not able to respond except through a faint nod and a hand squeeze. Her husband is my Dad's older and last living brother (89) out of 12 sibs. I am bonded with my girl cuzzies of the 'bad boy brothers' -- lost in Cantonese translation... (we are all 1 year apart in age). One of us has lost her Dad over a year ago, now there is just Lai's husband David (89) and my Dad (87) and their sister Ann. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">It's not a surprise that introspection is a crucial aspect of our personality as artists. If you understand your emotions it enables you to get in touch with yourself. Isn't that a part of the process that motivates us to respond and participate in artmaking? We are the group that can give ourselves over to this impulse with permission for an outward and tangible voice that makes it visible. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">There are just some days you have no choice in surrendering to an 'introspective mood'! Finding these old photographs today came from a power and passion to reach for and recapture a time in my mind and in my life. Like comfort foods...these are comfort photos!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Haven't you heard your creative mind covering up your inadequacies -- the ones that you continue to ignore and pacify --or...are you maybe stuck on the same thread that's at the end of it's line? A painting you want to make that you can see so clearly in your mind but maybe it's too much of a risk? </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the studio, we have these conversations a lot and sometimes, if we're lucky, we have a solid "you can trust in your studio" fellow painter to banter around these thoughts with. Someone you can tell instead of having to hear it by yourself while going another day either loving or hating your aloneness inside the studio. </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently, I've been surrendering to my frustrations and facing my working with new materials straight-on. Maybe this slow time of year supports this inward contemplative nature in me. By giving into this and dealing with myself, I have been slowly figuring out my technical problems one at a time. So, don't lie to yourself about whatever it is that you can't do. Dealing with developing your work and technical skills creates feelings of a setback on various levels. It makes you feel too many bad things that sometimes constellate into that dreaded downward spiral. What can you do??? Stay focused and even self-centered in order to stay in the state of absorption to carry you towards the results you're after. </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tend to wait too long before making a change (in and outside of the studio)... try to get to the truth early...and the next successful painting will be waiting for you. Easy to say -- hard to do. Dealing with and accepting the problem you might be facing gives you an opportunity to 'fix it'. This takes much patience, being diligent, staying on track, slowing down and... the "D" words -- Dealing, Developing and Discipline (in some cases Divorce -- just kidding). </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While opening up and stretching my visual vocabulary through working tediously with materials and techniques, I am glad I did. New work is developing off this new mindset. The hassels of going back and forth with materials is paying off. I love the technical aspects of materials and am proud of being a good technician. So, deal with yourself if you want to push beyond your current plateau. Get over yourself, work hard and you'll be pleasantly absorbed once again. </span></b><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">My last studio was in 1 of my 3 car garages with views to a large yard, 2 doors (1 to the yard and the other to the laundry room) and short steps away from my kitchen.

</div><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In my daily routine, I usually like to be inside the studio by 9:30am. I require a lot of structure to my day if I plan to be productive and I know being a "Mom" gives me the edge on 'time management'. There's quite a bit of awareness of time and what day of the week it is as my teenager has a varied schedule from week to week. Also, being a single Mom adds more of everything including scheduling/communication with the co-parent. And... my style of mothering is a mixture of the "empathetic"/"responsive" & "always look good" Mom-- navigating a crucial time in my interactions with her as we're both reaching for new growth. And, an Aspie teen can make your brain feel like it's being put through a vice! The wonderful part is that she is a lovely girl and pursuing an artists' life. Livvy is extremely talented and we believe other mentors are out there for her!</span></span></span></span><br />

</div><div><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I enjoy waking up very early (honestly -- I don't think I have a choice, it's how I roll these days). At the previous Art Island Studio location, I used to bolt out of bed by 4am and be in the studio at 4:30am before carpooling my daughter to school at 7am (bad commute in those days but now, she is just blocks away). These days, I wake up early and either meditate, journal or get on YouTube to listen to music while checking Facebook and reading the NYTimes online. Music is a very large part of my life and has been since I was very young. My parents played music the moment they were up and all through the day. I have kept this a part of my life ever since. So, Facebook friends know I like to link music to my posts every morning. It's something that I randomly feel drawn to at the moment -- you know, that free-spirit thing. Usually tunes that give me energy to want to move and dance. A Facebook friend that I met for the first time at his SF opening said upon greeting me, "You're the wild girl! Every morning your high energy comes through my computer screen"! I guess I'm a morning person! But, I'm also a nite owl too...</span></span></span></span><br />

Another check on Facebook and then I "log off" before I get too sucked into cyberspace. I hate doing errands and usually minimize them to one day per week and never do them on the weekends (usually teaching/ demos at the Art Store). </span></span></span></span><br />

So if a critic praises Nabokov's obsession with wordplay, you begin to worry that you can't even spell "obsession". Besides, if artists share any common view of magic, it is probably the fatalistic suspicion that when their own art turns out well, it's a fluke -- but when it turns out poorly, it's an omen."</span></span></span></span></i><br />

</div><div><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Well, I reset the studio this weekend for painting with Encaustic again to make some small paintings for a group show next month. I had these panels that were the right dimensions and returned to a composition and palette that I began for the NY Small Works Show - Washington Square East Galleries in 2008. There's something very satisfying in returning to an old thread that you left unfinished. </span></span></span></span><br />

</div><div><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I thought for a day about resetting the studio for wax. It's not a simple thing even if I still had the big ass studio. Getting over the resistance creates breakthroughs. I ran into cool materials i forgot I had! Now that times are lean, I can appreciate the days when money was really flowing... I am lucky I had that period (which will come back again) when I really stocked up on so much -- I'm grateful for how it's carrying me through. </span></span></span></span><br />
