the inspiration

the untitled piece posted on the 9th of october was completed after having seen this door and walkway on my many walks down to the port. the door is beautifully designed and the walkway is mesmerizing . many times i'm tempted to take a chalk rubbing of the tiles to keep in my journal. the tiles in spain are beautifully painted with designs of saints, surnames, house numbers, and southeastern influenced designs.

"drop"

this piece had me at a large wall that i couldn't figure out how to climb. there was something about the IDEA of what i wanted to create that had me blocked. after a brief interpretation by alex one day, i realized i had to just jump in and finish it. the idea for some of the design came from a door that i passed as i walked down the montgo into javea the day before. the pattern on this beautiful door that i speak of was of southwest asian influences. the door looks hand carved from wood, it's very impressive. i'll have to get a photo the next time i'm in the area.
