I’ve started writing my calligraphy installation
in the Nano Gallery of Honolulu Museum of Art School. In this image of the left wall,
you can see several parts.
Joyful
For the past week or so,
I’ve been working on an installation of calligraphy
to go in the Nano Gallery of the Honolulu Museum of Art School.
Tumbling Romans
Saying Thank You
Aligned, Relaxed, Resilient
Daily practice with 1/2″ and 3/8″ flat brushes.
Layers
Working in layers, mostly with the flat brush, a tool I’m starting to like more and more.
Morning Fraktur
Some recent morning brush practice
– a single alphabet of Fraktur based on the variations of calligrapher Luca Barcellona,
whose work I’ve recently discovered.
Pages and Pages
When you practice music every day, for example playing the piano,
you don’t really generate anything tangible.
It’s all internal or fleeting audible.
But doing calligraphy regularly one eventually accumulates pages and pages of experiments,
tries and just plain practice.
Recent Morning Brush Practice
Here are a couple of sheets of recent morning brush practice.
Besides lettering practice, I’m also experimenting with polyrhythm on these pages.
