wall splat, collbato, spain

aged, scraped, layered walls and doors abound all over europe, but this one distinctly caught my eye. especially the splat of burnt umber paint thrown by someone in a moment of fun or passion perhaps? the pentimenti of history is so evident here and shows that time is the most glorious artist of all. the wall shown is in a small village outside of barcelona called collbato, a rest stop on the pilgrim’s way to the monastery of the black madonna in the montserrat mountains.

the project:
to live and work in various artist residencies around the world for at least one year, exploring differing cultures, landscapes and resources.

the proposal:
how does "place" impact the creative process? by living and working in a variety of cultures, and using mostly local materials and imagery, i look to capture the essence of the environment in the artwork that i do.

the hero's journey:
my long held interest in the archetype of the hero's journey, as explored by joseph campbell, in the context of the creative process, is the overarching structure of this project. considering each stage of the sacred journey, or pilgrimage, gives me courage and insight while continually pushing off from the shore into the unknown, both physically and creatively.
