Image #2, above, was the first image I ever saw from Lisa Solomon, so, I was thrilled to see her featured this week at Tiny Showcase, image #1, above, top.
"When I started drawing doilies I realized that en masse they reminded me of internal organs... These doily body drawings represent the four things I think you need to make art: your lungs, heart, brain, and guts."
I was once taught by an art teacher to combine things that are opposite, or just completely unrelated - then find a way to relate them, find a way to make them work together. This will quickly create new associations in your mind. Thoughts will flow more easily, freely, and you will end up seeing many other connections and possibilities. Doily + Body totally reminded me of this exercise. I Love it.
