What is the effect you want your art to have on the viewer ?
I like it when I am able to recreate an image that has provoked in me a particular emotion :
It can be the awe of coming in contact with jellyfish whilst swimming in the baltic and finding them totally harmless and airily beautiful.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms…
The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly…
One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

What I am reading today: LIGHT by eva Figes ( 1983-reprinted 2024 by Pallasathene) A memoir about light, following the footsteps of Monet around his Giverny garden. A testimony about how art can beat back the shadows, albeit the worst shadows of the FIRST WORLD WAR.

If you were the richest man/woman in the world, would you a/ use your wealth to make a positive mark in the world and help it become a better place for all? Or b/ use your wealth to disrupt, destroy and create more chaos and conflict?! I know, it’s a tough one 😝🤣🤦🏻♀️

My #octopusgyotaku has found its definitive home in Sète, with a view over the Mediterranean! It was born around here 3 years ago almost, in the port of Agde. I like when my work is connected to the place it is shown in. #gyotaku #natureprinting #marinewilldlife

Garden finds! Art by #florenceconti my maternal grandmother mother who was a trailblazer and a huge artist. I regret nature retaining this earth to its original purpose but at the same time there is such beauty in the moss covered statues… #returningtoearth #nature #artifact #rewilding

Monoprinting produces original unique works that have a very « hand drawn » quality that I relish. In this series I was inspired by poses of women in some of Picasso earlier works. #artbywomen

Showing monoprints created after a joyful residency @artprintresidence.bsky.social during which I used some of my grandmother sculptures to inspire works on paper celebrating the female body through introverted and thoughtful poses. I am currently writing a biography of my parent #florenceconti.
