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.

Earth Quotes: Trees are poems that the Earth writes upon the sky......

This quote:

  "Trees are poems that Earth writes upon the sky" by Kahlil Gibran 

 was the starting point for this piece. The background was dyed and lightly discharged to give some soft images of tree shapes.

  It was then overdyed, discharged with some larger more definate, shapes.  I then appliqued with dyed fabric the three trees in the foreground before machine quilting the outlines of the trees.  Some Inktense pigment was used to create light falling on the trees

    Wow - Jean. Really lovely piece this. There's a lovely quality to the image - adding the 'light' really intensifies it! I was in Queensland earlier in the year - makes me think of the mangrove forests that we saw.

    Very ethereal ! They look as if they are dancing; they have a light, flowing quality about them.
