"Adornment," began in 2010 after weaving the second version of "Coming Into Being/Coming Undone." The threads took on the role of garment, skin and hair- an interesting notion to me. So I explored a little more and last year created the first piece in the adornment series.

I took a pause on this for a few months but have been back at work this January and here are the two newest pieces. I decided to jump in the tones so that I can then work towards the medium tones from the different ends I've started from. My goal is to create at least 10 pieces to create a sampling of different tones. I'm starting the journey now on where to display them once I have the full set. I'll report back when I've got some leads.   Adornment .80  All 4 pieces together in the studio  Adornment .85  |
Very beautiful and VERY unusual, Susan!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary. I'm excited about this series!
DeleteI don't know if it's your intent for when these will be installed somewhere, but I really love how they puddle on the floor. The darker tones are really impactful against the white walls too. Cheers - CT
ReplyDeleteHi CT- I've really been liking the pooling effect as well. At first I thought I would keep the bottom taught just like the top but, I think this way they reference hair even more.
