WIP is short-hand for "works in progress." I am usually juggling several art pieces at once for upcoming exhibitions, an ongoing or new series, collaborative art projects, and Fall Open Studio. I keep a WIP notebook because it helps me document techniques, materials and concepts and I can see the progression from idea to finished work. The banner for this month is a mock-up for a piece based on Alice in Wonderland. It will go through many transformations before the final work is exhibited this summer. The collages on the left are almost finished. I will be making many more kitsune-themed works this year and will soon have kitsune WIPs all over my studio.
