#mediatedcommunication

If you are looking to master effective communication in both online and offline environments, Looking Out, Looking In (15th Edition) is an essential resource for lifelong success.

Last few days to see TIME BOMBS: Art About Anxiety & Impending Disaster at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati. If you’re in that part of the world, there’s a closing reception tomorrow, Jan. 10 from 7-9pm. Thanks for including my work @manifestgallery #artaboutanxiety #heatherleebirdsong #contemporaryart #polygons #mediatedcommunication (at Manifest Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Hgp-Ghq8b/?igshid=1wn3i7t2552r6

Work in progress. Thinking about the difficulty and necessity of learning to hold many contradictory feelings simultaneously, and sometimes intensely. Using sound as a metaphor, learning to hear a choir and not just noise. #polygons #ineffableemotion #gaslighting #workinprogress #mediatedcommunication #hlbirdsong https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gy3TthQD1/?igshid=thntg97r8698

I’m honored to be one of three artists featured by Foundwork’s recent Guest Curator, Paula Ochi. Ochi wrote: “Heather Lee Birdsong’s paintings play with the idea of space in a surreal and narrative manner, blending folk tales, mythology, geometric abstraction and magical realism. I’m interested in how the geometric shapes she renders enter and exit seemingly varied picture planes. Paired with her unique use of color, these shapes collide and coalesce with strange landscapes in ways that suggest an underlying story.” Ochi is the owner and director of Ochi Projects, Los Angeles (@ochiprojectsla) and Ochi Gallery, Sun Valley (@ochigallery).

Selecting a frame color that will feel appropriate for the whole series is tough! This one has the weirdest color palette, so it’s my test case. I’m going with the gray, with thanks to those who gave their feedback. Final framing will float the works on white mat. #polygons #hlbirdsong #mediatedcommunication #artistproblems #pdxart https://www.instagram.com/p/BxakTZkhOlo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=65pbv408q2ag

Now I have to decide what color the light will be. #wip #hlbirdsong #mediatedcommunication #paintingprocess https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgiIICAwJz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jhrmg0bfk6mq
