I am horrible at this posting thing....

So I know that I haven't had a post in awhile....I am just so busy right now but I hope the work that I will be posting right now and in the next few posts will make up for it.

This post is all about MUSLIN.  I had a project in a class I am taking to use an entire piece of 12' by 8' Muslin.  So I tore it into strips of all different sizes and wove it together.  I then asked for two more pieces of muslin (each a little smaller than the first), and made two more.  I filled a whole wall in the painting hallway with my installation.  It was pretty intense and took awhile.  I am very pleased with it though.






Here are some close ups of the piles of strings and the weavings.






I found this to be a very analytical way of creating work.  The thing I love though is how dying these strips caused a painting that was not analytically made but it is more spontaneous and fun.  Here are some photos from the process.




And here are some close ups of the wall.







I hope that you enjoyed.
