2013 Moving forward

Moving forward..........

The intention of the theme in 2012 was to allow individuals to develop their work freely from whatever point they were currently at –without constraint but with a light touch framework to work within. It was hoped (and it proved to be the case!) that the theme helped us communicate with each other something about ourselves through our work and our intentions.

Moving forward into 2013 from this starting point we are choosing to work individually over the year on a series of work of our own choosing whether that series be related to a specific theme or process or design approach.

As in 2012 every two months a piece of work will be produced, starting January 2013. Size of the work for 2013 will be A3 (30x42 cm approx or 12x17inches) either portrait or landscape.

Summer Storm

This is my final post for the 2012 blog.  As I mentioned in my earlier e-mail to the group, I was sure that I had made all six entries for 2012, only to find as I was cataloging my photographs that I had only made five pieces.  "Summer Storm" is entry number six.  It was inspired by our summer "monsoon" storms in Arizona that usually bring lots of drama and little rain.  The clouds are hand felted with wool roving.  I used commercially dyed fabrics for the mountains and sky.  The first two photographs are detail views and the third photograph is the full piece.  Now I can move on to my 2013 series.

  1. A great combination of the felting and piecing Frances.There is so much movement in the clouds and they appear very menacing! A very clever and unusual piece. The fabric top left makes one think that kinder weather is coming.

  2. A beautiful piece Elaine. A lot going on - but certainly not crowded.
