sunday's picture, 2012, copic markers and sharpies on canvas, 35 x 45cm
I don’t know what it is about Sundays but that’s when I usually get the urge to experiment and goof off. But I think my strongest works stem from experimentation and a sense of play. And this was a lot of fun. Especially with Instagram in my life. (more…)

I’ve always been interested in sculpture, but it is just so difficult! Which doesn’t prevent me from playing. So I made these two lovely heads this morning. (more…)

I’m feeling a little down today. In my life, food is a pretty accurate barometer for my moods; the worse I feel, the less I eat. So for this morning, I will eventually have my breakfast, but I probably won’t enjoy it. Which will put me at a 7.8 on the emotional Richter scale.
The picture above and the ones after the bridge are just some of many I did this morning between doing my chores and not having breakfast. Enjoy. (more…)

ruby & her three yellow roses, february 27, 2011, multi-media on canvas
Sunday morning is usually the day I like to play. I haven’t had this chance for a while because of preparations for my upcoming Stories of Eves exhibition at the Tilal Gallery. It felt great to work on a small canvas, without a deadline or the pressures that come with it. The name ‘Ruby’ just popped into my head as I started to type the title of this piece.

About a year ago I started collecting teabags because I loved the organic-ness of a used and dried up bag of tea. I also love repetition and the linearity of things. There is something very regimental and military-like about any ordinary object or human being stacked side by side; almost but not altogether uniform. I brought this back out today and restarted work on it with help from my sister, Yasmine, who took all the pictures except for the ones with her in them, obviously. (more…)

the first layer is a laminated picture by yousef abu-ghazaleh. the second layer is an un-stapled feathered crown by amalie modeen. next is the final stage from my slideshow 'balloons', and finally some cutouts from 'ghosts of things'
There’s something to say about random placement, even though I’m not sure if things are placed randomly by any adult. I have my handy, huge bulletin board in front of me which I occasionally find a place to tack items which are miscellaneous or difficult to place in a proper container. So I end up having this ever-changing board with infinite future possibilities. (more…)

larvae, 2010, charcoal and acrylic on canvas, 40cm x 40cm
I was feeling very organic last weekend so decided to go out and buy some untreated canvas and play around a little. I also remembered that I had two or three potatoes once destined for a hearty mash, just sitting around in the fridge. Who knew that this would be their destination. I made three of these ‘pictures’.
Scroll down for the video, sit back and enjoy, preferably with a bag of no-name potato chips.
Cross the bridge for more pictures, taken by my dear friend Cooper. Thank you, Cooper! (more…)
