Gorky's Granddaughter

    


Studio visit with painter Deborah Dancy on Gorky's Granddaughter. I just found Gorky's Granddaughter.com last night, thanks to a link that someone posted on Carol Diehl's art blog. This is just the first video that I watched on the site. I didn't know anything about Dancy nor her work before seeing this, but after watching it, I'm really interested in watching more. There are a ton more videos on the site and they seem to average between 10-25 minutes in length. 


Gorky's Granddaughter is a great studio visit/interview blog that is part of a documentary art project by Christopher Joy and Zachary Keeting.

There's a new interview with me by Brent Hallard up on his art blog, Visual Discrepancies. Go check it out!

But then, also, there is this fine sense of order; a tension that just reads so. There are often layers, sometime layers upon layers, some almost obliterated, or covered over. There is this sense of frenzy at work, though every move feels so considered, every layer, or clean slate making sense to the next. But this is, of course, looking at a finished piece.

What appears in the end as a beautiful display of order and chaos, a pitched tension between control and free play, is something worked at?

Tim: You’ve hit on a lot of what goes on in my decision-making process while painting. There is a lot of back and forth, playing one layer/color/direction off of another, making decisions about how much to save and what to sacrifice. There is a dance between control and chaos that contributes to that tension that you sense... (read more here)

My new online obsession is Flasher.com. Flasher is a site that has video interviews with mostly younger artists, musicians, film makers, fashion designers, video artists, performers, etc...

I don't remember how I stumbled on it, but I'm glad I did. It's a good way to check out what's happening in the today's creative world and get a sense of who's doing what. Defintitely give it a shot and see what you think.
