Fractured Fence Repaired #8, mixed media on stiffened fabric, 46" x 41.5", 2013
The Fractured Fence Repaired series is now finished. It explores blue construction fence patterns on white (reminiscent of blue and white plates), that are fractured and then repaired with gold (Kintsukuroi). Each piece is created with monoprinted, handstamped, and handpainted fabric that was cut and reassembled with small stitches. Then the fabric was stiffened to provide a more paper-like feel and appearance, and gold was painted near the stitched seams.
