What looks like the aftermath of a donut war is actually a behind the scenes look at my latest delicious adventure. What began as a photoshoot for a stand alone next artwork, ended with a bakers "dozen" of ideas for 2019. Initially I was working on another artwork for "And the world will live as one" lyric from John Lennon's "Imagine" song. Color, size, shape, preferences don't have to keep us from living as one. If you know me you know my love affair with donuts. My favorite is all of them. Like people, each one has a reason to love it. Some have fun sprinkles or stripes, some are strikingly beautiful, some are nutty, some are plain glazed...what you see is what you get, and some have their deliciousness hidden on the inside. I went to one of my fave donut shops and bought more than a dozen donuts to arrange, cut, and my fave BITE into to get a variety of shots to choose from. While working on small studies this past week an idea screamed into my brain late one night. I'm going to go on a "dozen donut dates" in 2019 and document them and the people that share them with me in an artwork. We spend so much time on social media that we have become antisocial. I want to get back to finding out what deliciousness people are hiding on the inside. I went on my first donut date yesterday....more to come on that later. I'm working on several artworks at once right now and my mind is all over the place which is actually nothing unusual. Stay tuned...you donut want miss this. Interested in being one of my donut dates?
