de Young Artist Demonstration - March 6th, 2009 The Friday evening at the de Young was great fun! The music of the Japonize Elephants ( perfect during the Andy Warhol exhibition ) was playful and invigorating and many in the crowd danced. I had lots of visitors who were interested in seeing how a collage or assemblage is developed. Cutting up the Coca-Cola cans with a sizzors was the main attraction. The sequence of steps are interesting to see as it illustrates the process from concept to initial materials and to the step by step process of assembling the art. From raw materials to a completed and framable piece of art - no matter how many I do - it's always like magic. The final size is 28.5x21 Working to the music of the Japonize Elephants and interacting with onlookers made for a great evening. The exhibit table next to my working projects table.
