I have a lot going on in the studio at once but I never get bored - I will leave an artwork until I feel it needs more work…. sometimes I go back to it a week later or even a few months later and then the answer to what needs to be done comes to me.
Lovely.
Above is a detail of a work in progress in my studio today! Please look at the image below for an artwork I finished 2 years ago…. notice the stitchwork and the little ceramic conduettes… they look the same as the collection of threads or string on the cording above. Very interesting, but mostly fun.
I am still stitching 3 other artworks at this time but needed to change to a new art work that I could readily change. I like to work on several pieces at a time to keep me excited about my artwork and like riding in a car I like the change in scenery.
Image 1 (top left) - depicts the black paint over an already painted relief material surface. At this point I had started painting the and neon orange on the top of the black paint.
Image 2 - I have acutually started to stitch and scrape the black paint between the raised areas of painting burlap with a small exacto knife revealing the paint colour below it.
Image 3 - Here I have added metallic paint to the raised painted burlap.
Image 4 - I have completed the first panel with stitching neon string on the scraped painted areas between the raised painted burlap. Please note these photos do not show how bright these works really are…. even the bottom is a blue area with metallic dust. These need to be seen in person to be appreciated.
Hoping the rest of the artwork looks just as beautiful!
What cannot be seen in this image is the golden shine on all the material in this abstract landscape.
Letting the "PinK" Dry then varnishing…. simplicity… unusual for me.
