I finished this small work last week, too late to include in my current exhibition. Contrasting the positive letterform shapes with negative space ones (that strip along the right is cut from portions of the same alphabet as the positive letter form shapes) has a lot of potential and I’ll be working with this idea again in the future.
The light marks on the darker horizontal band are hand stitched. Every step of making this piece felt playful and relaxed.
AKA Letters at the Edge, 2010, 20” x 20”, silk, applied silks, synthetic fabric, monoprinted and screen printed, painted and stitched, mounted on stretched canvas. $350.
I swoon, I swoon!
ReplyDeletevery beautiful. love the layers and the negative space letters. It would be so great to see in person as i am sure it is even richer.

ReplyDeleteMercy, I'm feeling a bit faint myself from this chorus of praise! But thank you thank you thank you, I'm soaking these compliments all up and smiling from ear to happy ear.
ReplyDeleteI like the feel of this. You gave it asymmetry that tricks the eye into forgetting it is a square.
ReplyDeleteSo good meeting you on the phone today. Your work is great.
ReplyDeletenice meeting you today on the telephone. I really like your work. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHi Jack, the pleasure was definitely mutual. How have we not met before, two old Buffalo, NY winter veterans that we are!?! I'll look forward to more conversations in the future!
