“My work shifts and changes in response to light and proximity. I layer conflicting personal references, such as fog colors, music, fabric and thought patterns, to create a new shape-space. I want spontaneity and chance to influence the outcome and direction of each piece.” —Mel Prest

As Winter shifts into Spring, I find my creative inspiration also seems to shift in focus and tone, both physical and metaphorical. I was intrigued to read about the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day Mel Prest and her awakening to the influence of the difference of the quality of light from San Francisco and Brooklyn. I’m facing a move of nearly 2300 miles; will my work change too? Does your work change depending on your geographical location?

ARTIST of the DAY: Sue Hotchkis

beautiful EXISTENCE

I’ve been searching for the perfect new home. I have fallen in love with the most imperfect 10 acres. Someone else out bid me because my budget is ridiculous. Two weeks later, their contract dissolved. I have a second day to hold the hope of imperfection in my heart. Fingers crossed. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Sue Hotchkis celebrates that same beauty. My totem art for the day. (continues below)

“…my work is texture and surface, strongly influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi. I seek out imperfection, in the insignificant and the overlooked, using a camera to freeze a moment in time, recording marks and surfaces that are in the process of breaking down, ephemeral, in a state of flux. ” —Sue Hotchkis
