Traveling Light (4)

10"x15", assorted cotton fabrics, hand stitching, bronze beads, stencil and light molding paste.

My plan was to create small pieces and then gather them together as in a mosaic or manuscript. This was my first effort and I'm not sure (already is busy and says enough) if I'll add to it so for now I'll leave it loosely finished and see what happens. Staying with themes around direction, time, traveling and of course trust.
Update: 16"x15", new title "Finding Isiah"An addition of a digital copy of an ancient scroll on silk. NOW this piece feels complete. A big challenge putting this together and I'm back in the studio working on smaller pieces to grow together into one larger piece.

"Glistening Thread"

12"x18", mottled painted stamped cotton, oil treated paper ... momigami, stenciled fabric, machine and hand stitching, hanging glass beads, digital photo of Dead Sea scroll .."Jeremiah"..on organza and screen printed Hebrew alphabet letter ...Aleph.
I wrote about my new direction on Dec.9th posting and here is my first effort in my story of the scribe and ancient holy writings. All of us artists accept the precepts of art making ...structure, unity and consistency and for me,  at this time, I need "story" to fully feel I've taken the piece to its completed form. Always surprised at what I 'think' the journey will be like and what actually shows up ...the mystery of my own artist life.
