Artist Services project on display now at The Frame Maker


Reception this Friday May 15! at The Frame Maker, 3102 Reynard Way, 92103 (in Mission Hills north of Little Italy) for "Artists' Proof", a show of all six artists currently on staff at The Frame Maker exploring the digital reproduction capabilities of the my new San Diego Artist Services project(I wrote about this before both here and on the The Frame Maker Events and Design blogs as well.

Here's a picture of my contribution to the show, a series of 4 original collage/mixed media pieces digitally printed with outdoor,UV resistant inks right on to a new "advanced environmental composite" called ECOR™, stable, 100% post consumer waste panels that can be made to any size or depth.

Ocean Abstract #3 for SD Coastkeeper

Here's a pic of the finished piece in its custom frame at The Frame Maker shop yesterday.

Ocean Abstract #3 by John Hiemstra, scenic artist


The final layers of varnish, plaster and wax mute the bright colors I started with on the recycled wood lengths (see last post), but still allow them to glow through the more opaque bits of glaze. I'm glad I made enough "raw materials" for more of these so i can work out a few things that occurred to me since its completion earlier this week.
