Starting Construction


I finished this first piece in the construction series I'm working on.  It's 16 x 20, mounted on canvas. I started with a piece of screen printed fabric I made in a Benn/Morgan class.  I added some more screenprinted fabric, some discharged fabric, machine stitched it, then painted it, then stitched it some more.  I've got two more in progress, based on lots of pictures I've taken of the construction.

My favorite element is the painted blue curve, which evokes energy -- and this color combination is really strong. Wonderful.

Nice piec Karen. Would your (or perhaps you have already) talk about what you do when you mount a piece on canvas.
