I
am very excited about the 12 x 12 x 12 I created for February. For months I’ve
been experimenting with how to incorporate photos in my work. This month I cut
the photo and tiled it on the stitched monoprint of a construction fence.
Previously
I used photos for my January 12 x 12 x 12, and in my Jumbled up Fence Photos Collage series.
In January,
the whole photo was layered over the stitched mono printed of fence pattern.
For the Fence Photos Collage series, I cut into the photos, and positioned them around the
monoprints.
Next
up, I think, is a series of photos of my grandfather’s Tallis (Jewish prayer
shawl) that will be incorporated with stitched monoprints of fence patterns. This
series will be a created to link the use of the Tallis with a series of Chappahs
(Jewish wedding canopies), I’ll be
creating when I’m the Artist-in-Residence at
the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University from March
17 - April 11, 2014. More info about that soon.
The 12 x 12 x 12 monthly series is my
monthly time to play with materials or an idea. I just started my eighth year working on this series. Each piece is mixed media on 12" x
12" x 1" board. You can read past posts about this series here on my
blog, or see all of the completed work on my website.
