Drawing with paper.
I'm casting pulp in the paper studio at @penlandschool for the next 2 weeks. I love this space and am pretty sure I'm in love with the process. My mold making skills are rudimentary, but I'm using them none the less.
Taking a little hibernation break. See you in January!
Muddy red clay puddles are a favorite of mine, and I've been seeing a lot of them. They fill all those spaces you never thought of as vessels. I didn't jump in this one, though I should have. Happy solstice!

Guess who just fell in love with milk paint.
It's quiet here now and also cold. I used to have a lack of love for Winter, but slowly it has become my favorite time in the studio. No one is around, I'm the only one to blame for being distracted, my brain feels clear and ready to get to work.
I'm starting a new tradition of designing and printing calendars over at my sister site, @theerapress.

Over the weekend I tested out painting the surfaces of some of the new shapes I made while at @unca_steam_studio. I'm excited to bring my intuitive practice of painting into the mix with these sculptural forms.
If you're headed to SOFA Chicago this weekend swing by the Emerging Artist Showcase in the Cadillac booth. You can see this sculpture in person and check out all the other artists. Thank you @bluespiral1 for making this happen. . . . #letterpress #contemporarysculpture #sofachicago2018 #cadillacsofa #penlandresidentartist #contemporarydesign #eleanorannand #printmaking #printisntdead #reichpaper #contemporaryartist #diecut #art #papersculpture #collectprints
There's nothing like seeing an idea come to life and I've been dreaming about this one for so long. I can't wait to get paint on these and work on the surfaces and I'm grateful to @unca_steam_studio for reminding me how much I love problem solving and learning new skills.
I think I'm getting somewhere. It's that part where you've had a glimpse of what could be and you can't stop thinking about it. Thanks @unca_steam_studio, you might not be able to get rid of me.
