Hand Stitched Thread on Hand Dyed Textile
18" x 43" (45.75 x 109cm)
$2,000
This piece is the first one using my banded, custom hand dyed fabric. The piece can be displayed in any orientation as can be seen in the detail images provided. Each collector has their own vision and that is why I purposely am developing work that can be hung in more than one orientation. This makes the artwork more versatile and can easily fit into different sized areas without a major revision. The process of making the banded fabric is very freeing as there isn’t much control of how the dye flows once it hits the fabric. Each consecutive piece will be different and may not fit in with the first pieces. I have hand stitched this piece in not quite as dense of a pattern as I normally do. The stitching recedes more in this piece since I used light blue thread for the hand stitching. This is to reflect the “wave” aspect of the textile piece and to let the dye design be the focal point. When viewed horizontally, the piece looks like sound waves from an oscilloscope. It also replicates a printout from a seismograph in this orientation.
