2017

We move forward from two successful exhibitions in 2016 in Prague and in the USA to the challenge of an exhibition in the Netherlands in the Autumn. We continue to work on A2 sized pieces in portrait format and will be producing four pieces over the year with the theme of 'Freedom'. An essential part of our art is working in series to a common format which does give us all a framework for our creative endeavours.

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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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!
