It’s been a year in the Making! One year since Makers For Makers was created to shine a light on supporting makers, supporting community, buying local, and shopping small with a BIG heart! From makers markets to maker stories, this feed has blossomed only to spread good vibes.
Thanks to all of you who have shared your journey and art, been an inspiring seller at a pop up and become my new creative friends!!
Without further ado, meet . He is one of the cool and creative desert dwellers out of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico maker community. Bogs turns his materials into beautiful objects and his gallery is a supportive creative space for emerging art and artists. I met Bogs a year ago while living in the southwest and he was the first maker I featured on this feed. Since then I’ve moved to Idaho, but I recently caught up with Bogs to see whats new in his maker world a year later.
In his own words:
“For me colors are subjects in themselves, holding many associated meanings. When colors are combined with images, they further illicit meaning as the two subjects share one space in the mind of the viewer. Most recently I’ve been intuitively drawn to the color red as a backdrop to my pictograph-like images, temporarily favoring it over black. The color speaks to me of birth, inspiration, passion, and intense focus, whereas my black backdrops had been more about absorption, solitude, and their opposition to my stark white-lined images. These intuitive preferences are not static, they are what make the creative process so elusive and fulfilling for me.
My most recent endeavors include a large series of painted drawings on red surfaces, the release of a short film titled “The Vision”, the finalizing of an EP covering The Smiths, and the continued work of curating artist-centered shows and residencies at Artist Abbey in Truth or Consequences NM. Recent exhibits include Lisa Talavera’s “Unseen Landscapes” and Felix Morelo’s “End of Residency Exhibit”.
Learn more at hieronymusbogs.com and if your ever in the neighborhood, his gallery is open every second Saturday of the month during the festive Truth Or Consequences Art Hop.
