Theme for 2012:

Theme for first year (any or all from):
- Where I am…
- Where I am at……
- Where I am going…….
The intention of this theme is to allow individuals to develop their work freely from whatever point they are currently at –without constraint but with a light touch framework to work within. It may be that the theme helps us communicate with each other something about ourselves through our work and our intentions.

Every two months a piece of work will be produced, starting January 2012. Size of the work will be 10"x20" (25x50 cm) either portrait or landscape.

Who am I

This abstract I made is inspired by a fingerprint of mine. For the background I used a snowdyed piece of fabric and also the blue squares are hand dyed. After all I am a dyer :-).  As I am always working on more than one project - and have a job as well, I am always dividing my attention and time to lots of different things. That is the reason I cut up the fingerprint into squares. After the (machine) quilting was done I added paint to the bue squares. Now I only have to find a title for this quilt.

  1. Excellent quilt Wil. I like the reference to juggling with all the cut up piece - maybe I should have done something like that! I think there's a few of us who perhaps haven't come up with proper names for our pieces. Something we will have to do when get to exhibiting!

  2. Yes, I agree with Magie, the idea of cutting up your fingerprint reflecting the splitting up of your time and energies in different directions Wil is a very neat idea - the graphic possibilities with fingerprint imagery seem endleass. Loved the colour of your snow dyed piece.

  3. Beautiful piece, I can't wait to learn dyeing techniques when I go back to school. Then my pieces can become more complex.

  6. Wii, this piece really speaks to the life of a woman in this modern world. I love your dying. I've been dabbling with silk dying. It is so rewarding to create your own fabrics. Great work!
