I don’t have a signature style. My journey as an artist has been to explore the world, particularly, its systems, rhythms, and patterns, and to ask myself questions. I often start a series of works by asking myself, “What if?” and then set out to figure out how to answer that, with varying degrees of […] The post Jeff Woodbury – Learning from Making Art: Insights from Jeff Woodbury’s Practice appeared first on The Maine Arts Journal: The UMVA Quarterly.| The Maine Arts Journal: The UMVA Quarterly
Thinking through making happens in my studio at each step-by-step stage. An eventual working-out occurs as I puzzle through each part of building up three-dimensional forms. The work moves forward or backward when I am at the edges of not-knowing and continues to evolve like that throughout the process of making. My projects are often […] The post Kitty Wales: Thinking Through Making appeared first on The Maine Arts Journal: The UMVA Quarterly.| The Maine Arts Journal: The UMVA Quarterly
When given the opportunity to reflect on my creative process, specifically thinking through making, I naturally turned to my creative partner.

Consider the power of a simple straight stitch embroidered 100,000 times in a vintage canvas cot cover.

My workday in the studio often begins by sweeping the floor and tidying up.

When I was in elementary school our workbooks were called Think and Do.

CM: An accomplished poet, you’ve also long been committed to the practice of making visual art, primarily collage. It fascinates me that you bridge these disciplines—poetry and visual collage.

Decisions, Decisions I like to tell my students that our task as art historians is to retrace the artist’s decisions.

I love the way almost every line in Stu Kestenbaum’s “Song of Ascents” suggests something about the nature of artistic process. Don’t we, when it’s going well, feel like we’re on a peak?

In Linda Aldrich’s poem, we watch an acting class practicing ensemble work.

So many elements in James Brasfield’s poem “The Cypresses” speak to process, including memory, attentive observation, and mentorship.

Susan Cook’s sonnet is a more abstract and general approach to process, and it suggests something about the nature of endings. How do we know something is finished? How do we end a piece of writing?
