New Piece

6/20/2013

0 Comments

 
     My latest framed piece, which is hanging now in the Upstairs Downtown Studio Gallery in Morganton, NC.  This piece is another in the exploration of the Eco-printing technique.  I am thrilled when I am able to be patient enough for the fabrics to dry once I remove them from the dye pot (waiting is not easy in this case!).  I never tire of the organic prints that are left behind by the leaves, petals and stems of plants found close by!  Whatever comes out is embraced. 

     This piece was hung above the fireplace in this lovely studio space, and I confess I did not have my tripod with me to take better shots of this one.  Please, pardon the prints, as I was not able to really "line up" this photo the way I wanted to.  This original piece and seven other fiber art pieces will be on display beginning July 9th with the other artists of Artist Collective, the art group of which I am a new member.  The show will be displayed at the Burke Arts Council's Jailhouse Gallery from July 9th through August 2nd, 2013.  Please, join us on July 18th from 5-8pm at the Jailhouse Gallery for a reception and the opportunity to meet all of the members of Artist Collective.  We are a fun loving group of emerging artists coming together to encourage, support and enhance each others' presence in the art community, as well as in our individual endeavors.
