mixed media collage works, in acrylic. I have been burning it up lately, and these are stages of works in progress. eventually i want to make time lapse gifs.
I belong to the exhibiting group "Adhesion" which is mentored by the wonderful Angie Hughes.
We are trying new ideas to help us free up our thinking and our current project is proving rather difficult to translate into anything concrete.
The idea is to sit for two ten minute sessions in silence, and record the noises heard, using any means you chose. One ten minute period should be in a quiet envoironment, and the other in a quiet one.
These recordings have to be translated into a visual form.
Here I have bonded silk on to a cotton background, and then I have cut the silk with scissors into similar squarish shapes and glued these on to a watercolour paper background. I have turned some of the squares round so that the light catches them in different ways.
Now I have to decide how to represent the noises I heard!
This is a large watercolour pad measuring about 18inches by 12 inches
patchwork furoshiki - made from off cuts from fabric used to make other furoshiki and display curtains - hence the metal ringed holes
Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

Another section of the embossing powder - I have stamped into the melted powder whilst it was still wet
It has been a few weeks since I've worked on wood. I'm glad to be back. Here is a sneak peek of what I am working as a submission to the "Lipstick & Rouge" show @ Second Space in Spokane.
Close up of the painted calico circles sandwiched between two layers of printed tissue paper. The resulting "fabric" is rather stiff, but still workable

Over yesterday and today, I've finished out her muzzle and worked on her right eye- I think i've redone it 3 times to try to get it just right. Not really happy with the nose, it could be it looks to be all black on photographs, I'll have to think about it.

As Ada Lovelace was a mathematician I was searching here to show some symbolism in stitch.
The samples are based on a calculator keyboard and have a base of machine stitching on a felt base.
The top sample is burnt with a soldering iron, the second uses fabric paint, the third had an enamelled symbol heat treated on to it, and the fourth had foil, heat applied to it.
