I've noticed some themes in my art that I'm working though. There's a dampening of color that occurs in most of my pieces.. I seem to take bright colors and add some brown to them, make them muddier. I've also been reading about the 1920s, and bauhaus in particular... and became fascinated by their high hopes... these artists charged themselves with designing for a utopian society, and in order to do this they designed...
chairs!
(partially because there was no money to design buildings, and partially for perfectly acceptable conceptual reasons)
It's interesting to see what they thought the future would look like.. (and please, suspend all thoughts relating to
1984,
We, and
Brave New World for just a minute)
