I am working in series for many of the pieces I am presenting for this first time at The Other Art Fair opening 11/8 in Brooklyn. In an earlier post, I highlighted my collage work created in series on sheet film holders from vintage cameras. Like most of my work, it includes many, many layers of both paper, thread, and metal (and other) embellishments.
But I also like to paint - and leave it at that. So for the fair I created a series of seven, small, abstract pieces on 5" x 5" x 1.5" wood panels. The series is called Tangled up in Blue.
I will admit that when completed, I was drawn to add marks, collage and perhaps even found objects. But I love the simplicity and elegance of these pieces as is and find new details in them every time I look.

I think that is your signature color, Seth. These are fabulous paintings. I love your abstracts as much as your collage/assemblages from yesterday.
Loves the blues! This time I had no trouble picking my favorite--Souls in My Mind really speaks to me.
Seth, you are definitely exploring your "blue period." I am in love. Are you using your Paper Artsy paints to make these? Good luck at the art show.
Gorgeous blue!
Cindy says. Gorgeous blue!
