there were children crying and colours flying
I passed.
Here's a few of the pieces I showed:
Twelve prints put together to form a textile pattern. Woodcut, digital print, chine colle and sumi ink drawing on rag paper.
Woodcut and letterpress on Japanese paper; the paper has been folded and re-folded numerous times to fit through the letterpress, giving it a soft, supple texture. I'm going to do a lot more prints like this, I love working this way with this paper.
The t-shirt I made to wear to my review; silkscreen and embroidery. It's a little hard to read but it says "breathe" down there amongst the raindrops. This was to serve as a reminder to me, and was inspired by a set of stitch markers that Bonnie sent me a while back which carried the messages: focus, stitch, create, breathe.
You can see more of the work on my flickr page.
Also, check out this beautiful finished Gatsby Girl pullover. I want mine in that colour now.
