More Prep For Residency...

8/11/2015

So today I got out some of the materials to pack so that I can play with mono-printing during my upcoming art residency.

I'm very excited about it!  Printmaking would have been my major had I continued to study the 'fine arts'.  But that was before I found out that textile design was a major, and then that led me to see the wider world of contemporary craft with the most amazing artists ever. There are endless possibilities and sources for inspiration....

Anyway, I just love the textures that are possible with mono-prints. They are very atmospheric, which is why I'm drawn to it and it's something I strive to create in my fiber pieces too.

The pieces below are created from mono-prints on paper. Some are layered with fabrics and have stitching, some have stitching and colored pencil, and some have all three...So a collage approach in the end I guess. 
I hope to bring enough of a variety of materials to work on these ideas a little bit there, along with working on combining my own woven or hand dyed cloth using other mixed media materials/techniques.  When experimenting, you never know where inspiration will hit... so when something unexpected leads you in a new direction, it's good to haven enough of your goodies to keep going with it.
....Yet at the same time, I don't want to bring everything and the kitchen sink...

Always the balancing act!
