The Cabbage Art & Scarf Invitational

7/7/2014

The Cabbage Art & Scarf Invitational
Gallery Show


Be part of the creative process! The Cabbage Art and Scarf Invitational is an interactive art project that features a number of cabbage images competing for the right to become works of art. The viewers and participants act as the force of natural selection by voting on the images tournament style on my website or in person at the opening reception. When I've finished turning the winners into artworks, you choose which to develop into scarf designs.

The gallery show is done in conjunction with a Kickstarter project of the same name to actually produce the scarves. For more info, go to NancyFreemanStudio.com.

Aisle Nine
Aisle Nine
Frager's Hardware,
Pennsylvania Ave.


Frager's Hardware is a friendly old-fashioned store that has everything. It  has been a local institution since 1920, and has steadily grown to occupy several adjacent buildings in a sort of rabbit warren way. There are things up these stairs and down those, in this add-on and that out building, in the back and around the corner. The main parts still consist of several rooms with old wooden floors and narrow aisles all chock-a-block floor to ceiling with wares. Each aisle has a white square painted on it with a big red number. These are all worn down, some almost completely.

Quintessential Sight

Much of the Capitol Hill neighborhood was built around the turn of the last century, and there are many very old, very big trees. It is not an unusual sight to see a mighty oak that has slowly engulfed the iron fence it was once next to, or has overtaken the curb or sidewalk.

Survival of the Fittest

The Contenders vote page is up.

I like the idea of crowd-sourcing the survival-of-the-fittest decisions. I like viewers to be an active part of the creative process. The most direct way for you  to influence this process right now is to vote, to pass judgement on the "contenders."  You get to be the decider.

Every week the contender with the most votes will move up to the Winners page. The lowest ranked will be removed and new contenders will be added, somewhat like a tournament.

The Winners page will be the selection pool for competitions, exhibitions, demos, paintings, and future evolution and explorations. So the more you vote, the more you influence the process and the more it helps me.  Join the creative process. Vote!

"Cherry Travels
Through a Wormhole"

Cherry season is here, and I've been having a great time with a bowl of cherries. This one ties into a number of themes I've been developing over the years -- cherries, stars, swirls, circles, reflections, refractions.

"The Audience Reacts"

I got so many interesting photos that I couldn't decide, so there are two Catches today. Cherries have so much personality, with their little round bodies and their shiny red surfaces. The stems, which usually read as long necks with little heads perched on top, are functioning here as sort of top-knots. I was struck by how many different expressions this group has. It makes me wonder what they're watching.

One problem -- I kept eating the models!

First Site

I am finally, after all these decades of being a computer artist, putting up an online presence. You can't rush into these things.
I am very pleased so far with the website, but there is still much to be done. Sorting through just this year's image production is a huge unfinished project.

I think this site will be very like a garden: never really done, a process rather than an accomplishment, always in need of attention, constantly changing. And like a garden, it will reward in proportion to the effort put into it.

It deals with the wide variety of image creation that I have always been engaged in. It will include the traditional media work that has supported me all these years, and provide an appropriate  forum to showcase the ever expanding production of digital work, the results of my decades long use of and love affair with the computer as an art medium.

As you look through it, remember that this website is a work in progress, and I'm new to this work.

Thanks!
