Windblown #2


Handpainted, quilted silk collage mounted on silk-covered stretched canvas. Hand stitching and beading. Ready to hang.

For this piece, I started by making deep furrows in the green area of the painting, which caused the rest of the fabric to billow up from the surface in its own waves and folds. I made pintucks to accentuate those folds. Running stitches, French knots and beads just seemed to follow along naturally after that. Metallic gold paint lines the irregularly cut edges of the painting and highlights some of the folds. The painting is backed by a piece of dyed batting.

As I was following the curvy pintucks with French knots, I had the feeling of a warm spring day with lots of little 'stuffs' swirling around in the air... pollen, insects, seeds.... hence the name "Windblown".
