Things To Be Revived

I’ve resuscsitated my instagram account.

The feed is below. There are pretty things, ugly things, arty things. Things to be considered. Things to be dissolved. Things to be appreciated. Things to be discovered. Things to be reworked. Things to be Things.

Things to Be.

#TBT | Things That Arouse A Fond Memory of the Past*

I probably have a pic of a paper fan somewhere in my #projectobso archives. I’ve already re-rolled out one image, why not perchance a pretty fan?
Instagram is the perfect form for quick consumption and spontaneous combustion.

#Reluctant | Things I Am Reluctant to Share

#Splendid | Splendid Things*

  • 3. From Open Outcry Series. Three - hand signals from the obsolete (more or less) Open Outcry stock market trading gestures used by traders. I have a penchant for analogue gestures. #the100dayproject #100daysofpossibleoutcomes #openoutcry #drawing #linedrawing #dailypractice #womanartist #canadianartist #conceptualdrawing #handsignals #gestures
  • Untitled Things. A little splash of colour for the solstice. This drawing falls under the umbrella of another project. It’s #wip so not much to say yet. #inkdrawings #drawings #yupopaper #femaleartist #womeninart #canadianartist
  • Call. Open Outcry Series. Stock market gestures. It’s in the 70s the number of days. I’ve skipped posting so many days. Bad drawbot. Bad drawbot. #100daysofpossibleoutcomes for #the100dayproject But I have been drawing. I’ve never done anything on the stock market. I almost would like to learn. Imagine the frenzy. #linedrawing #femaleartist #conceptualdrawings #openoutcry #contourlinedrawing #canadianartist #reluctant #stockmarketdrawings Ps these are the same drawing - if u looked at both images . Not sure which direction works better. #indecisive ;)
  • Thumbs Up Redux. Been busy hustling. Bustling. Sending myself some thumbs up vibes. #emojidrawing #100daysofpossibleoutcomes #the100dayproject #contourlinedrawing #femaleartist #canadianartist #conceptualdrawing #thumbsup
  • Six. Open outcry hand signal. Obsolete - more or less. As mentioned yesterday, I’ve run out of digital signals so on to the analogue world. I like obsolete things anyhow. #the100dayproject #100daysofpossibleoutcomes #linedrawing #shadowgestures #conceptualphotography #conceptualdrawing #femaleartist #canadianartist #dailyproject #openoutcry
  • 3. From the Open Outcry system. Dipping into the analogue world for this series of gestures. Using the mainly obsolete hand gestures from the stock market. . Day Xsomething of the 100dayproject #100daysofpossibleoutcomes #linedrawing #contourlinedrawing #femaleartist #canadianartist #conceptualdrawing #gestures If you’re still reading ...:) I’m on top of doing the drawings every day and then some... bit the scanning / shooting / posting ... meh a C- #slackerlife
  • Folded Hands Redux. Day 50something of this #the100dayproject journey. This is the drawing on vellum from about 20 days ago. I had shown it with the photographic shadow then. I drew each hand with the opposite hand to get the position. It’s kinda odd drawing one hand held up in the air — waiting for its partner to be pressed into service. Also not a bad sentiment to repeat. Yes. ... #emojidrawings #the100dayproject2019 #unplugged #drawfirstthing #namaste #please #thankyou #prayer #approval #drawingsofhands #handdrawings #linedrawing #continuouslinedrawing #dailydrawing #gestures #canadianartists #femaleartists #womenartist #bcartist #yvrartist #conceptualdrawing #conceptualartist #muckingabout #morninghabits #draweveryday #100daysofhapticgestures
  • May 29, 1938. Sunday. Forecast is for a high of 62. There will be a total solar eclipse today. It won’t be visible from here. This shouldn’t bother me, but it does. Maybe J. will surprise us with theatre tickets. She chuckles. This is a fantasy. He has been working late ever since that knock on the door a couple of weekends ago.It has do to with the strikers. May 30, 1938 A. dropped by again this afternoon to show me some more photos. I am afraid of heights, and could never venture where she does to get some of those images. She is brilliant. She offered to show me how to use her camera. One of them anyhow, the smaller one. I’ve taken her up on her offer and booked a date for next Thursday. I’m telling J. I’m going to visit my aunt. —- #tbt to a #publicart project I did for City of Vancouver - a 6month project that was installed at Canada Line skytrain on Granville and Robson. These were 2 “QR posts” from May 29th and May 30th. I wrote a story imagining a woman in 1938 with a secret, who wanted to be a photographer. I took images from the amazing city of Vancouver’s archives and altered them. See pierd.ca #photography #femaleartist #archives #canadianartist #vancouverartist #bcartist #qrcodes #mediaart
  • Ok Encore. An everything will be A-Ok gesture is always good to repeat. Day 50 something me thinks. #100daysofpossibleoutcomess #the100dayproject #100daysofhapticgestures #drawingsofhands #handdrawings #linedrawing #continuouslinedrawing #dailydrawing #gestures #canadianartist #femaleartist #womenartists #bcartist #yvrartist #conceptualdrawing #conceptualartist #muckingabout #morninghabits #draweveryday #emojidrawings #nondominanthanddrawing
