Our websites and blogs give a certain point of view but an interview asks different sorts of questions and gives a more overall, objective view.

Yes, it's never ending, yes one needs to remind oneself that if 50% is checked off that's great (as well as those chunks to eat! I have done that, penciling in routine needs to keep me focused).<BR/><BR/>K, you've "made your mark" with a through and interesting interview.<BR/>I love connecting to other artists.<BR/>Thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-44334680158473451372007-10-27T02:22:00.000+00:002007-10-27T02:22:00.000+00:00Came to your blog via Art Biz Blog, and WOW!

I think a brand is one of those 'you'll know it when you see it' things. <BR/><BR/>I know I've talked to you about how I set out to do art, knew I loved research and then discovered that I really enjoyed writing. For me 'Making A Mark' was a really fortuitous choice of title for the blog - but it's certainly turning into a brand.<BR/><BR/>What strikes me about your art is that it has always been about relationships. First with the cafe paintings and now with the arrangements of objects. We always used to enjoy making up the back story for your earlier work. Maybe the brand for you is going to be about relationships and story telling - about a concept - the story behind the still life - rather than about what you draw per se.<BR/><BR/>Tina - I now have mental pictures of you popping off your bike into all manner of things after that last comment!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-1263041566900245092007-10-05T19:39:00.000+00:002007-10-05T19:39:00.000+00:00Wow!

Along the lines of "things become available to you just when you need them", I've been drifting away from what I need to be doing. Every little bit helps to keep me from letting distractions win over. Big thanks out to you and Tina for offering such good suggestions!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-54547125418898815912007-10-05T19:32:00.000+00:002007-10-05T19:32:00.000+00:00Thanks for the interview Katherine.To address ed's...Thanks for the interview Katherine.<BR/><BR/>To address ed's concern, I would just say that my work naturally developed in this way. So I'm not worried about sticking to one thing, it's just the way I work. :) I actually do have another series (the Nereids) that is ongoing and slightly different in nature. The important thing is, as you imply, to be true to yourself. If you do several things that's great, it's just finding what makes you 'you' and building on that. It did take 10 years to figure out this 'brand' for myself! My work has been developing and changing, all leading up to this. I'm sure the brand won't be forever and I'll adapt. In fact my logo sign for fairs doesn't have 'the cycling artist' on it so that it is slightly more flexible. My 'cycling artist' sign is a separate one so it can be used when it's most appropriate.<BR/><BR/>And no, I probably won't give up cycling. At least not voluntarily. Though I really do have to stop crashing into trees, canals, and ditches during my "fun" cycling (mountain biking) if I'm to continue. But then that would take all the fun out of it!Tina Mammoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407199513409994699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-72083641172053543472007-10-05T18:25:00.000+00:002007-10-05T18:25:00.000+00:00Great interview Katherine!Tina - ooh I'm so enviou...Great interview Katherine!<BR/><BR/>Tina - ooh I'm so envious - a clutter free studio! I took away some very helpful information - thank you for doing this. <BR/><BR/>Now what brand can I use.... hmmmmmmm<BR/><BR/>a question: when you say brand - what other types of things could be a brand? I've been somewhat successful with New Englandesque still-lifes with a contemporary component... then I have another area where I do offbeat still-lifes such as shoes, paper, aluminum cans - they can be anything that strikes my fancy and has a grahic quality of its own. <BR/><BR/>Is there any benefit to having 2 areas instead of focusing on one? Or is that not generally good?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449813797621330902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-83805969126919332622007-10-05T07:18:00.000+00:002007-10-05T07:18:00.000+00:00I'll let Tina speak for herself when she gets back...I'll let Tina speak for herself when she gets back from Spitalfields but I think what she's saying is that:<BR/>- your art needs to be about you in some way<BR/>- you change, your art changes - but you still need to be able to make the art coherent for others - and a branding approach can help you do this. <BR/><BR/>It's really all focused on how can you tell your story simply.<BR/><BR/>And I guess Tina is pretty confident she's never going to give up cycling! ;)Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-45737346215489484462007-10-05T06:32:00.000+00:002007-10-05T06:32:00.000+00:00What a great post, Katherine.

In the end, however, collectors what you to easily articulate what you're about so they can seek a connection.<BR/><BR/>I think for now, I'll continue with a life of ambiguity :-)Ed Terpeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211416674089451891noreply@blogger.com
