One of the joys of today was finally putting all the ladders away after months of living with them and ON them. But, before I put them away, I made sure to get down the things that need to be framed. While climbing in the "rafters" I found this painting all rolled up. I did it probably 5 or 6 years ago. Totally forgot about it. So, now I see it. I like it. But it is really, really wroggly...you know, the ridges formed from being rolled too tightly and probably squashed just a bit. It is acrylic on canvas, cut and reassembled, presumably using PVA glue.
The Question:
HOW DO YOU MAKE A WROGGLED CANVAS TO GO FLAT AGAIN?
This next one falls under the category of STUFF:
The pink and green piece is the first of three that are inaugurating the return to useable studio space. Saturday evening, after installing the Habitat project and before splitting a celebratory bottle of wine with my assistant, I resumed work on three old, stalled pieces. Marcus was shocked that I was already at work. Actually, it was a way of claiming my space back and forestalling the normal let-down from finishing a major project!
