Garden Art
Work in progress.
This is the start of my piece for the garden at Westhope College. My Book Arts group contribute to the summer show there and this year we have been asked to decorate a tree with the theme of "portrait"
My piece is constructed from several foreign newspapers, mainly from Poland and Venice. I've layered them and stitched through them in a grid patern.
I then added accents using linen offcuts.
The most important part of the process comes next: a good deal of time is spent rubbing and crumpling the piece to make it shrink and to make the print sink into the surface and thus become indistinct.
The shrunken piece is now about 2 foot in length.
