I've been working on Fence/Curtain 2.0, my new temporary public art
installation for the Boston Center for the Arts, which I'm going to install the
first week in July.
Last week I monoprinted
two 16' long pieces of fabric, and started handstamping some shapes on one
piece. This week, my plan is to do some more hand stamping and then to paint on top of the
monoprinted area.
Then, assuming that goes
smoothly, my plan is to monoprint at least one more 16' piece with the same
pattern, and then monoprint up to three more 16' pieces with a different
pattern, all this week, if possible. (It may not be possible to do all of this,
but I'm going to try. It all depends on humidity and drying time, which should
be fine, and any unexpected other things that come up this week.
After all of the
printing, painting and stamping is done and dry, I'll coat each length with
watered down matt medium, and let it dry for a day or more (depending on humidity). Then I have
hundreds of holes and/or flaps to cut in the fabric, which is the most time consuming part.
