three recently completed sculptures

I am always surprised just how long it takes me to finish artwork, especially sculptures. Aspects of these sculptures were begun fall of 2009, generally finished in July- only to have me go back and resolve them further this past August.

It's almost as if each phase of work has to "marinate" for awhile before moving into the next working phase or resolution. I currently have at least 10-15 other projects in the studio in various stages of either being worked on, or "marinating". In this particular series, there are about 5 or so more pieces coming...

"vessel #1(us)" 4.5'x2.5'x1', terracotta, handmade paper, thread, silk, wire, wax

"vessel #1(us)" DETAIL. 4.5'x2.5'x1', terracotta, handmade paper, thread, silk, wire, wax

"vessel #2 (hiding place)" 23"x20"x16", steel, handmade paper, terracotta, leaf, thread, wax, pigment.

"vessel #2 (hiding place)" DETAIL. 23"x20"x16", steel, handmade paper, terracotta, leaf, thread, wax, pigment.

"vessel #3 (contemplation)" 3'x2'x32", steel, wire, silk, wax, terracotta, thread.

"vessel #3 (contemplation)".DETAIL. 3'x2'x32", steel, wire, silk, wax, terracotta, thread.

a few small paintings

I believe these are done, though sometimes you never know :). I just might jump back into them after a few months...

 

"the source" 8"x6"

"the finding..." 12"x12"

"goodbyes" 5"x5"

"journey" 6"x6"

"scramble" 6"x6"

New works coming....

I am very very excited to be working on a new series of works- both in painting and sculpture. Hope to have the first few posted in the next month or so.... In the meantime, you can find out what I am up to by visiting my semi-regular "Studio Journals" blog at:  http://www.jaynemccoy.blogspot.com

Here is the info:

There will be ...

* Live Music
* Over 100 Vendors
* Full Bar

* FREE Admission - Fiesta Gardens
* FREE Parking
* Heated Circus Tents

YES! You heard right! HEATED Circus Tents.

Come Support the Austin Arts!

This is a 4 day event!
The event will take place Dec 18th - 21st
Fri and Sat from 11am - 12pm
Sun and Mon from 11am - 10pm

With an atmosphere true to the life of Austinites, the holiday shopping event will feature over 60 local artists and small businesses housed under multiple heated large circus tents, with a further 40 artists outside on “vendor row” selling unique gifts and fine, hand crafted items. In addition, there will be tribal and improvisational dance performances, fire spinners, djs, circus acts and resident musicians who play while patrons shop.


You can find me at a corner booth near one of the main entrances. Love to see you there! New work will be posted here very soon.

Cheers and Happy Holidays!
