Last Thursday my family and I went to the 30. Below. reception and had a blast! ArtScope Magazine was present and I finally got my copy!! We got to enjoy samples from Short Path distillery and a buzzing crowd of artists and art appreciators.
Last summer, Massachusetts-based artist Kristi Beisecker (see right) launched a custom printed lifestyle product line featuring her OOAK artwork under her brand name – K Glyphics. She calls her artwork, however, Electrography. In her process she exposes organic materials on top of photosensitive paper which is then developed normally in a darkroom. Instead of using a camera, however, she exposes these organic materials with electricity. This process is a derivative from Kirlian Photography which uses electricity to expose objects on Polaroids. As a result, it shows the auric energy of living materials which is known as “life-force” energy in many cultures and is popular in the spiritual community.
Beisecker’s electrographic artwork is exhibited world-wide and she is nationally recognized in the photography field for her artwork and as an artist who is pushing the established boundaries in art. Her artwork has taken her across the nation and as far a Tuscany, Italy. As a nomad by nature, Beisecker enjoys the chaotic nomadic lifestyle that her artwork brings. So she created a brand to celebrate this lifestyle.
Infusing a bohemian vibe into her photo shoots, Beisecker styled her products to fit the nomadic lifestyle. In her line, she has a sling bag, winter scarf, clothing, towel which can act as a tapestry and a fantastic umbrella featuring her award-winning, black and white electrographic photographs.
Consider incorporating one of K Glyphic’s products into your next Outfit-of-the-Day or in your travel bag the next time you’re jet setting.
With these OOAK, yet fashionable products you’ll create a unique outfit and can stand out in any crowd! Yet they are also perfect for the frequent traveler.
K Glyphics offers these lifestyle products online as well as in-store. Shop online at their website at http://shop.kglyphics.com and find a store near you.
In preparation for the 30. Below exhibit in Cambridge, MA which opened today at the Katheryn Schultz Gallery, Kristi was mentioned for her ‘stark and intriguing’ artwork in ArtScope’s latest issue:
Kristi Beisecker’s “Olivo,” a black and white 22” x 28” photographic image, is stark and intriguing. A stand-alone image that challenges viewers to make sense of what they are seeing, it appears to be time-lapsed in motion with light bursting in multiple directions. A bit organic, a bit alien, floating in a void of darkness, she pushes the limits of traditional print photography.

Artistry comes from the soul and is then translated with the movement of our hands regardless if we’re holding a pencil, a mouse, or a stylus. Though the problem with designing anything on a computer is the tedium and imprecision that comes with it, thus a lot of artists still prefer to draw free hand and leave desktop platform to the graphic designers.
Perhaps the best invention that combines art and technology is the drawing tablet and the apps that transform your portable computer into a modern sketchpad. As a contributor of SitePoint notes, a stylus is generally much easier and more comfortable to hold in your hand than a mouse, and allow for an incredible degree of precision in your work?
Here are the top recommended iPad apps for artists:
To think that your tablet can do much more than your laptop might have been bizarre five years ago, but now mobile tech designers are surprising us with new functions of our devices. Gaming Realms, such as, the group that supplies online slots for Pocketfruity, predicted that mobile usage would exceed desktop usage in 2013, and in plenty of ways, it has, especially now that we can see the versatility of our tablets. And the ability to sketch on your iPad is as authentic as your vision can get from a technological standpoint.

I’ve been using the down-time with work to rest up as well as work on my project proposals for some opportunities that came through this month. I am hoping that with all my hard-work and newly gained knowledge of project proposals that I will see some success next year. Otherwise, I will have to wait until next year to apply again and learn some more.
I met a grant application teacher at the Worcester State U. The Art of Science/Science of Art reception who teaches out of RI College and he was happy to look over one of my proposals. I got positive feedback from him which made me feel really good about that particular proposal. 🙂 I will hear from that particular proposal beginning of next month, not too long of a wait.
One other project was to get portfolio work together. And that was a nightmare . That particular organization was very picky about how things are put together and could disqualify you if you mess anything up. So for several weeks, I diligently worked on it… perfecting the layout + sequence of things as well as written work.
Freelance work has been slow… my client in Dubai had some work for me and then my client in Marlborough, got sick again so things have been delayed which I am OK with since my project proposals had the most immediate deadline.
I also had another surgery in my ear this past week… as that was the next step in the saga.. to remove all the infected cells in the ear canal and I will continue to go back for follow-ups.
I also have some things in the wings regarding K Glyphics and whatnot that I’m hoping will manifest in the next week or so.
Next monday, I am attending a small business workshop that my mom got an invite for but can’t go…. so I’m going in her place. Excited to learn some more things… with entrepreneurship you can’t go wrong with learning new things.
Next week is thanksgiving and we’ll be spending it at my brother’s and his girlfriend’s place in Arlington.
Another trip to Hyannis is coming up at the end of the month as I will be dropping off a Bluebells print at the shop where my products are at.
So just hanging in there, and focusing on staying active. Winter is one of the worst seasons for me, and one of the hardest ones to find work, so I am fearful but somehow I think I’m going to be OK this winter.
Due to the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13th, the GAIA exhibition is delayed/postponed and will reopen when the country reopens. More information will be posted when it is received. EDIT: Exhibition opening has been postponed to November 26th.
My heart goes out to the city of Paris and country of France today. France is very close to our hearts here at home and in the USA. Especially during this time with the GAIA exhibition – the curator is safe and is contacting the other artists. I had the word Paris in my third-eye all morning/afternoon on Friday, and couldn’t figure out why… and now I know.
I am very thankful that no one in my immediate circle was hurt or located in France at the time.
Take care of yourselves now.
