Sneak Previews & Art Hunts

Here’s a sneak preview of part of my Web of Interbeing project! I’m in the midst of adding an illusion of depth here; you can see the contrast with the undeveloped parts as I choose shapes to push back and pull forward. Although the doe is in shadow, I added a hint of an eye. Here’s a before photo for comparison:

It’s exciting to be adding the final details! Since it’s a round piece of paper, bits of the underneath layers are showing in the lower right corner. I’ll trim those off once I decide on the final placement of each piece and add the spacers.

And this is a sneak preview of one side of my design for Cheekwood’s Great Spring Art Hunt! This is just the basic idea on paper; it’ll look different as a 4-foot tall painted piece of plywood. Instead of their usual Easter Egg Hunt, Cheekwood chose 9 artists to decorate plywood bunnies, which will be hidden in different spots on the grounds. The goal is to find all the rabbits! The Great Spring Art Hunt is April 2 and 3, and each family will receive goodies and a guide to locate all the bunnies. You can learn more here:

Although I enjoyed the snowy woods, I’m ready for spring and the inspirations for new art that it always brings. The ephemerals are creating their own sneak previews by popping out in greater numbers every day — some even poked their heads through the snow:
