“Adrift”

This work exhibited as part of “Threading the City” FAMA-sponsored textile art event. It displayed in the Mexican Consulate from October 2022 - January 2023.

42”H x 42”W

This work began with a feeling. I wanted to minimize the imagery to portray a sense of being alone. In a deep deep blue blue ocean, a young girl floats in a small rowboat. There is no apparent direction. (There are no oars.) There is no identifiable outcome. Signs of life dance beneath the surface. The sky is intensely colored but calm. She is, for now, just “Adrift”

The work is created with archival acrylic paints and mediums on fabric. Beginning with blank muslin and sheer polyester, I created the images on the fabric through a variety of surface design techniques: monotype printing, stencils, resist, hand painting and drawing. The composition is constructed as a collage with machine stitching for texture and sealed with acrylic medium.

Finishing: Fabric bound with a eco-felt fabric backing. The back has a hanging pocket and a rod, for traditional hanging tapestry presentation.

“ADRIFT” EXHIBITED AT THE BIG ARTS JURIED SHOW, SANIBEL, FLORIDA OCTOBER - NOVEMBER, 2020. IT WAS AWARDED HONORABLE MENTION IN THE EXHIBIT.
