Starting to come out of the fog...

Hi all - I'm starting to come out of the fog from the last few months. It's been a tough summer/fall, but the show must go on.

Here are some images of the paintings I had in the Causey Contemporary show -

30" x 46" plexi panels with enamel paint (not 3-dimensional as appears)

It's been almost 9 years since I've painted - but I have a new series for my solo show at Causey Contemporary opening June 18.

Green Hills

Work-in-progress

Now working on this piece for June show - measuring 10'w x 31'l x 5'h.

Dark Cloud

Finishing up this piece - model for large installation. Measures 6'6"l x 4'w x 22"h and fits in my purse. As in previous pieces, there are no structural supports in the piece. It is simply constructed of organza and thread.

Gravity

3-dimensional weaving using translucent materials.

New Lighting Piece

This piece measures w44" x d24" x h19.5" - an attempt to make smaller scale works.

Introducing an artificial light source, I am sewing LEDs into the bottom of the fabric to make the piece as simple as possible.
With the fluid nature of the piece, it can be arranged and adjusted easily.
Figured out how to get more undulation in these pieces from one master pattern.

Packing up Landscape

The final piece going to the Cheongju International Biennale in Korea - October 2007.

Off to Korea

This is the completed piece which is on its way to the Cheongju International Biennale in Korea. Basically a 3-D quilt constructed of only organza and thread, the piece is a study in structure and collapsibility as well as and light and shadow.
