Open Development
There are two approaches to a 10"x 10" block. The first pass concentrated on created layered depth using a few materials. Being able to see completely back to the substrate is very important. Both series are created with a vibrant dynamic of motion thanks to meticulous placement and an economy of color created by tempering simple palettes with the schemes already present in the collaged papers. Thread painted houses is the second approach to articulating form. This body of work was the first time I had thread painted at all, let alone on fabric. The effect leaves a warm residing in the heart almost crying out "This is my little house in my little town". Both series have become a reference in the studio and are not for sale. However, inquiries for commission in this vein are welcome.
