a new collagraph series i recently completed. after these were printed (and dried), i watercolored onto them and sewed onto a few.
{one of these is on its way to the UK right now!}
here are some photos of a project i completed a few weeks ago. i dont have the final piece photographed yet. im hoping to use a documenting station on campus that will allow for some amazing photos. so hopefully you can see that soon! until then, here is a glimpse, which seems to be all i have been showing you lately. sorry about that.
a little something i made last week. i have been coming back to this chair a lot lately in my work.
i spilled coffee onto cold press watercolor paper, allowed it to dry, then cut it out. i then sewed the dried spill onto foam board with my sewing machine, then sewed a small corduroy patch onto the spill by hand. after all of this, i stitched the foam board piece into a cut out square that was larger (not shown)…..i think a photo can say way more than i am trying to right now, and do a whole lot better job….i will post more photos of the completed stitched coffee spills. in the mean time….here is a preview.
jonathan so graciously volunteered to make invitations for our upcoming potluck. he knows that my time is extremely tight these days and that i would want to do more than i had time to do. hes definitely raising the bar. is it fair to say that im fortunate for such an incredible man?
a recent sculpture that I made that was on display at the university of arkansas campus. these are cast wax needles with nylon rope acting as the thread. there were four in total, two of which are still on display until the end of this week. the meaning is simply a literal translation of the connection that i feel with nature when sewing something by hand. i was pretty satisfied with the end product, besides the fact that the wax was softened by the heat of the sun, it still worked out.
(and another beard)
i have actually been planning on sewing onto this, but havent yet….as soon as that happens i will let you know!
