"Pacific Ocean"

This textile was selected to be in the Vernum Ultimum Gallery's  "Abstract Sanctuary Exhibit.

The entire gallery of wonderful artworks can be seen at https://www.verumultimumartgallery.com 

Jennifer G. Cutshall, Ower, Founder, curator has done a wonderful job.

This textile is one of two I created that depicts the sun and or moon dancing on the Pacific Ocean.

The fabric for the art was shibori wrapped then hand dipped in a natural Indigo Bath.

Work is approximately 38h x 34w. "Pacific Ocean" also received Honorable Mention at the 2021 NLAPW Biennial Art Exhibit, Washington DC.

Wrapped

                          "Wrapped"

I was asked to participate in "Wrapped" a year end exhibit at Studio Channel Islands Art Center Camarillo, CA. The exhibit highlighted four artists careers in art. For myself the curator Peter Tyas selected textiles from many of my series or installations. I was very honored to be asked. He selected "Moss Beach" from my "View From Above Series". Indigo works from my "Thoughts of the Mind" Installation. "Color x 3, orange" from my "Images" series and" Water Bubbles" from the current Installation I am working on titled "Pacific Ocean".

Also slected "Drought Destruction" from my Alviso series of which I recently sold three of those textiles to a collector.

Water Bubbles

My "Water Bubbles #1" was juried into SAQA's vitural exhibit Land Art: From the From the Forest to Your Balcony! 

The virtual exhibit will be up until the end of the year. I have been working on this project for a couple of years. Actually this project started casually by dipping fabric that was tied in the shibori method into my Indigo Bath. As many of my projects are created I can start blindly with just a feeling and the project evolves with time. I love this process as it lends itself to so much personal discovery. The total different sites I worked on probably were well over fifteen. The story behind "Water Bubbles" is a fun playful one. 

In the spring of 2021 an article I wrote about the playfulness of the inspiraion will be published.

Once the article is published I will do a update. Who knows what I will have been able to add to this project by then. Below is a detail of "Water Bubbles".
