Here is a piece I finished today. It's the theme of my 2nd art show, coming up August 28. I feel that my art is in a transition period right now. I am exploring new substrates, new media, and different techniques, while adhering to my love of collage. This shows the cocoons on the left (fabric beads), text from the dictionary page that contains "transitions" and the emerging butterfly. It's difficult to see here, but the butterfly actually appears to be part of the canvas (because it is!). The tape measure symbolizes the steps I've taken over the years. I'm pleased with the final result--after many layers, scratches, gessoing, and embellishing. My favorite parts are the window screen upon which the letters rest, and the charm in the upper right.
Hopefully tomorrow I can get to the printers to get postcards made.
Emergence. Retrospective. Nice!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, Marge! And again I love the paper beads! I must do some.
ReplyDeleteThese particular ones are actually cloth beads; look a bit more like cocoons than the paper ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words.
