Catherine Bell Smith: April 2010

http://catherinebellsmith.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 30, 2010. Forests of Dawn Redwood. The cones in this series were collected over several years with permission of the owner of two wonderful specimens in Upper Arlington along my daily walk. Imagine my surprise and satisfaction when a simple curiosity led me to uncover such a profoundly moving story. There are infinite connections to find when we remain open to quiet inspiration. Is on exhibit in MAW's Hard Labor. Show at the Sean Christopher Gallery in Columbus, Ohio through the month of May.

Catherine Bell Smith: March 2013

http://catherinebellsmith.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 7, 2013. I am currently exhibiting at Haiku. Through the month of March. Is an exhibit of a series of seed mosaics that I work on between larger installations. They are simple landscapes and designs inspired by my travels through rural and small town Ohio. Constructed of seeds, bark, pods, and shells, these small-scale works are a quick, expressive means for exploring ideas and experimenting with materials collected from the very places I try to depict.

Catherine Bell Smith: October 2011

http://catherinebellsmith.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 26, 2011. It's always good to try new things. Honing a skill is the perfect reason to give myself permission to be a little messy, a little careless, a little off topic. Since my next series is "All About the Crown," I plan to shrink my world and enter the realm of the jeweler. Much easier said than done. 1 1/2" x 7 1/2". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). NEW WORK IN PROGRESS. Living Fossil, an installation for Patterns. MAW will be at Tacocat Gallery from May 4-June 22. Ohio Art League (OAL).

Catherine Bell Smith: Taking Flight

http://catherinebellsmith.blogspot.com/2013/12/taking-flight.html

Sunday, December 22, 2013. I love the quick sketch quality of the smaller seed mosaics. They are such a relief from the large scale installations that require tedious planning and repetitive processes. But working on Taking Flight was an invitation to slow down, be with the piece awhile, play with scale and movement, maybe create a narrative that would bring comfort to a grieving heart. Catalpa and milkweed pods, sycamore bark. In the collection of Jeanne and Bill Weggel. NEW WORK IN PROGRESS.

Catherine Bell Smith: It's been too long...

http://catherinebellsmith.blogspot.com/2013/12/its-been-too-long.html

Friday, December 13, 2013. It's been too long. Has settled down and my new studio space feels lived in and worked in, I suppose it's time to fill these pages with all that I have been doing since last March. I don't want to blast a bunch of images and info into the ether either, so I'll drib and drab it over the next few weeks. In short, last April I closed my studio at Junctionview. In light of the fact that the building was scheduled to become a parking lot. 12 of us formed a co-op, Tacocat.
