Reworked Work

I reworked two of the pieces from my last post and entered them in a show, and I'm waiting to see if I made the first cut. It's a bit nerve wracking I must say. But what a nice birthday present if I do.

These works are larger than ones I usually make. They're about 20"x 30". They are made on an off white massa (rice) paper, with a wax resist. After I applied the resist, I watered down some blue fabric dye and applied it with a foam brush and left it to dry. When it was dry, I ironed off the wax and drew into the irregular swirls it left. The negative space was strong and I reacted to it.

More Photos From Experimental Mark Making Class

These photos were here, and then they were gone, and now I've put them up again. Hope they remain here. But who knows. The first photo is Lori Glessner who taught the class, second is Rae, in her Liquitex official work apron, third is me looking tired. I think I may need different color hair - maybe red?
