Winter Painting

Stiller — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 04:49:27 +0000

This is the winter we wish for, to be in the night meadow, the trees, heavy with fresh snow in the light of the moon. The painting was quite joyful, channeling Bobb Ross and imagining Ruth’s meadow, an artist’s holiday celebration! Step back. I will sip cocktails with you right there!

Covid Objects

Stiller — Sun, 02 May 2021 21:12:43 +0000

In the summer, after only several months of pandemic, I began. Rather than my plan, which was to make tall energetic, ones, steadfast companions of clay, as an antidote to the ennui and fearfulness, I found myself making a persona instead. Slowly rattled out through these hands, through the

Evolution of the target

The painting starts as the crosshairs of a target as seen by the bombadere. It is David Arsenault's design for "Grounded" at The Kitchen Theatre in April of 2019. The play is very serious. the painting however was playful, litterally wacked up with paint on sticks.

Clay School Sculpture Class

Stiller — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 14:48:15 +0000

Clay is malleable, able to follow our impulse, record an action or show the force of gravity. We create structure, clay changing from liquid to solid and transforming over time and by fire. Studio practice is the dance, the give and take between aesthetic intent, action materials and technique.

Clay Body and the Sister

Stiller — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 20:44:32 +0000

The last time I worked in clay I was in a studio that was an industrial workshop; Bethune Studio University of Buffalo, 1980 - 1983. You can see these influences in the clay-work from that time, this theme of the contradictory nature of materials is seen throughout this gallery of my sculpture work from that time.

Drawing in Progress

Stiller — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 16:39:30 +0000

Chalk pastel, vibrant colors, and soft edges let me turn up the volume on the landscape. The camera lets me troll around and really look at the marks close up.

Tiny Town Pilot

Stiller — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 15:00:44 +0000

Given the materials and the methods, they imagined a community. Over the days The town became laced together by paths crossing the river, up ladders and over bridges The strong social aspect is something that surprised me.

A few mice

Stiller — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 02:42:54 +0000

Not everyone learns how to sew. Many adults can't do it. They would be able to sew if someone had showed them how, but nobody ever did. Andrea taught sewing in her workshop. She caught children's interest with an invitation to make their own sweet mouse and she set them in motion to sew.

Build like Animals

Stiller — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 00:50:00 +0000

It is very useful in workshops to take a week to consider a single idea.The animals and insects build by instinct, with finesse, coordination and great engineering. Do we also have instincts for building, templates for what is required? In the studio, we are imitating the animals.

Starting with an inkling

Stiller — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 04:37:58 +0000

Workshops start with having a picture of who will be attending and then a general idea, an inkling. It is something compelling or useful to that group of kids, a set of visual skills and experiences to take forward.
