While racing to keep up with all my commitments and shows (and if that sounded like a complaint, it was not… keep it coming, it’s wonderful!), I take on yet but another “assignment” - to create a piece to hang in the Entrepreneurship Department within the offices of a Chamber of Commerce.  I admit, I always love a good challenge (I rarely deny one), and timing is never an issue but rather a component. But I’m not alone in this… how many of us are most creative when we have no free time, and most productive when we have hungry deadlines to feed? So, yes, I’m in.  My challenge? – keeping true to the figurative work I love, driven by capturing personal moments we can intimately identify with, while creating something which is suitable for an office in a corporate setting. My theme? Well… Entrepreneurship – and thankfully, a subject conveniently saturated with ideologies and instructive quotes to lean into. With an understanding that this piece would be visited by an audience of newborn risk-takers, viewers who have outgrown their security blankets and are seeking to realize their dreams, this piece needed to deliver a message - Do it! Take the plunge! Leap!  Sure enough, I’m offered the quote “Leap, and the net will appear”, John Burroughs – which is a guiding phrase and even a motto in this office. Excellent. With a clear concept in hand, and with much thanks to a very open minded and not to mention, a very creative initiator - thank you Janet Tanguay, I had set out to work. Here are some snapshots from the process and the final result.... Our version of “Leap, an the net will appear” is now complete and being delivered tomorrow! |
