pebble shore
Posted: Wednesday, 20 February 2008 |
now to interpret the inspiration in a 21st century style, I use the machine a lot more now than I did 20 years ago, so this piece would include machine stitching, I wanted to use net layers but did not want a hessian base fabric, instead painted a piece of pelmet vilene a sandy sorta colour, painted the tyvek with the same blue paint and some metallic paint,
laying the tyvek over the pelmet vilene,
laying in the net and first machine stitches,
more net, machine stitching then adding hand stitching and beads,

I would've looked at the blue crocodile-skin-like material in pic 1 and thought 'No! I can do nothing with this!' IT; whereas, by pic 3, it has calmed down and become subsumed into the design. Exhibition time!

IT, I think quite a number of us are stunned by your imagination and technical approach to new materials in art. So stunned we don't really know what to say.... except you are very talented.

thanks for nice supportive comments Fc and Barney, if you click on the blog ring links in my sidebar (right side) then you will find other artists doing similar and some much better work than I,
