Month: June 2023

Molochville is a new work, one I hope will be a companion to my Hadesville once translated into a larger scale oil painting. While I have enjoyed working on smaller scale panels (I will be posting a new oil panel shortly), I am now itching to once again work larger.

The sympathy between Hadesville and Molochville has naturally evolved, in part the organic exploration between my fiber art sculpture , dolls really, and how they frequently pop up in my paintings:

 

 

I intend with Molochville the further , more intentional exploration of dolls and puppets as performers in this theatre of my making. The Punch puppets from PunchPuppets on Instagram an obvious inspiration (I suggest following the site, always charmingly ominous ).

Some version of Punch and Judy regularly pops up in my apocalyptic universe.

 

Again, from @punchpuppets, Instagram

I am heading out to purchase some larger canvases and cradled panels, I have a few drawings ripe for larger scaled translation. Not sure how my relatively small studio will accommodate them but I’ll figure that out later.

For now get me to Molochville.
