I spent most of the day in the studio yesterday trying to put my feet on the ground and get something going while the Notion of Motion series takes the back burners but I kept looking out the window at the freakish snow.
It fell relentlessly all day long but never added up to anything more than a cold headache this morning. It will all be gone by noon.
I've been hoarding these pieces of cotton for ages. Some time last summer I folded, stitched, waxed and dyed several pieces and sold all of them except this one. Once I cut the grid apart I was lost. So here is the grid again, reorganized. From here there will be more wax resists and over dyeing.
For the moment, I'm just satisfied (for the first time) in the layout. (51"x24")

reminds me of an archaeologist piecing back together an old mosaic. Even the colours are ancient looking, like a fine verdigris has blurred the actual image.
i love what is going on here....
my mind is wired for keeping balance...saw this picture and set up a little straighter...dig the grid and these earthly soulful colours!
