Portraits of Ghosts
I recently started a new series, Portraits of Ghosts, which deals with the fires which occur more and more frequently in the liminal space between human habitation and wilderness. I've been taking photos from 2017 on in places like Santa Rosa, CA, where fire raged up to the property line of my family's home. And in Lahaina, Maui, HI, destroying one of the oldest cities in the US. There are countless more examples of these in every region on the planet. Here are the first 3 in the series - all the stitching is by hand and I painted Tyvek to add a bit of dimension to the areas that were still ablaze. (DeborahWeir.net)

Creating artwork in a series can provide valuable insight by Russ Little

| Outward Movement #7 |
Early in my journey as an artist I often created one-off pieces of art as an exploration of an idea, the result of a workshop, or in response to a call for entry. Over the years I've found that I derive far more satisfaction and produce better artwork when I create pieces in a series. Doing so allows me to explore ideas and techniques more deeply. I usually have several series running at a time, and they generally span several years. I send some time looking at my Outward Movement series, which I've recently brought to a close.
You can read my thoughts about the series and see all of the Outward Movement pieces on my blog at:
