Art on the Fly

On my way across New York State a few days ago, I stopped in Auburn, N.Y. to see the wonderful annual exhibit Quilt=Art=Quilt at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center. Always wonderful and inspiring! I loved so much of what was in this exhibit, and here are a few of the pieces that spoke to my current interest in narrative, text,  and hand stitching.  Enjoy, then go see it! Up through December 2017.

My first experience with deconstructed screen printing. I took Kerr Grabowski's workshop at the Schweinfurth in Auburn, NY last week, and my work will probably never be the same! Above is one of my screens with dye and thickener ready to be pulled down the screen, along with part of a previous print just showing above. We printed mostly on cotton fabric but I did a few experiments on paper and sheer fabrics. Below is a different print on sheer silk organza, after several passes with the same screen. Love it!
