No and Taller Than You in progress |
Now here they are neat and tidy (and professionally photographed, thanks Radlund Photography). The question then becomes, what next?
Eggs for Papa, 6 x 8 inches |
Make Me, 6 x 10 inches |
No, 6 x 8 inches |
Taller Than You, 6 x 8 inches |
I'm fortunate to have the Goodman Community Center here in Madison, offering a variety of services including the Ballweg Gallery , a venue for Madison artists. I'm signed up for December 2017 for an initial showing of the work.
Yikes! I better get going...
preliminary work |
Along with tapestries there are sketches, drawings, haiku, and even my journal where I made the notes after each day of substituting. I'll also need to write some explanation for viewers.
The first thing I'm working on is the presentation of the tapestries. Simplicity will be important with these distorted weavings; you want to make sure every zigzag and slit shows. Smaller traditionally woven pieces will need some frames made...
Looks like a busy couple months ahead.
These are great, very expressive
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie, I'm happy to hear you feel that way. The stories behind each of these is quite powerful but I wanted it open to interpretation at the same time. Writing a haiku about each seems like a possibility that might work.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful, Ruth. A haiku would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy, I find they're the best way to get a thought down for me. Too many words don't work.
