Returning to my series work has resulted in three new pieces that are moving my series forward in many ways ......
The first piece Grevillea 'Pink' while still representational, incorporates some imagery from my Grevillea drawings, in addition to the leaf printed organza I have used on other pieces ....
Exploring the imagery from the drawings led to a more abstract approach ... a deconstructed grevillea ....
The third piece 'Golden Gem' pursued this idea of deconstruction and incorporated some my recent experiments with natural dyed silks. The result is a more neutral color palette ....
This piece has also incorporates some stitched shibori and hand stitching to add tone and texture ... opening a whole new world of possibilities! I just need more hours in the day .... I'll tell you more about the stitched shibori and hand stitching in future posts.
Thanks for reading ...CC
