Mary and Jeane's Entries in Jemina's "Refraction" Book

Mary's interpretation.

When wondering how I would interpret "refraction", I looked around my room and found a postcard of Velazquez's "Las Meninas".  This is not your average postcard, but one equipped with glasses that when looked through, makes the image 3 dimensional and come alive.  I bought several from the Prado so I can continue to enjoy "Las Meninas".

Jeane's Book / Petr's Entry

I gotta feeling Eric's gonna be jealous of this one. It might look like I've gone nuts lately with how may spreads I take for my entries but the fact is that Jeane's book looked so empty when I got it that I simply wanted to fill it up a bit. And things just grew so naturally as I was "building" these peeling off facades from all sorts of old scrap papers I and my school kids use when spray painting and stuff. I almost feel like taking this further, into the world of some large scale painting ...

Eric's entry in Petr's book

OK, I admit it.

I hogged 6 pages in Petr's book, but it's only Jemina left in this rotation.

Q: What do baby powder, glitter, ashes, and varnish all have in common?

I encourage Jemina to go bananas and make a 12 page entry to blow away the empty spaces....



Otherwise, I had a fun time playing with all kinds of materials in this entry.... What type of space was I trying to create? Is there actually a story being told? I suppose that depends on the viewer and what they may or may not see into the piece... Is that a flaming ball? Where is it? What kind of space could that be? Why would TRUE STORY be printed?

Mary and Jeane´s entries in Eric's book, "DIY"

 Mary's entry is a lovely transition from Angela's entry when light shines through.

My entry with random experiments from days gone by.

Jeminas entry into Lydia's book

Love, love LOVE this book! A very creative idea Lydia. I kinda wish it was coming back to me in the end -)...
