Flax would be delicious. The paper, like thin inner layers of fallen birch bark which is my favourite stitching choice, takes the stitches so beautifully and holds firm the connection between the artist and her thread of conversation.

I soaked it in water about 10 years ago and crumpled it up and opened it out again - some idea that I didn't follow through with.<br /><br />Now - I come across this paper that to me is shaped like a female torso and I am using it. Much of my newer work is because of the materials I have saved for a long time- it's time to let them speak.

I first thought of a mirror how what we think of as a reflection isn't a true view but a reverse view. This prompted recto-verso imagery. The front-back relationship in printing. Going back a bit when paper (papyrus especially) was made only the one side, recto, was smooth enough to accept writing hence the front but for utility the rougher back was used. I see your thinking the opposite / other side might be a rougher part. More tactile. Your term sensual. Recto-verso drawings are pieces of work that intend both sides to be used. I was hoping the image of you holding the paper up to the light would show a ghosting images or a bleed. Isn't that a thought that the work could bleed. These are all from a Western's eye-ideas: Japanese, Arabic or Hebrew eyes would do it all verso:recto style. And you know too I'm sure Junko Oki's work. When she presents it, as in her book Culte à la Carte she shows both sides as equal. A good point to stop my rattlehenrietta (aka ani aka zani)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07233449217099900553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-313193002067409652017-04-12T17:09:55.233-04:002017-04-12T17:09:55.233-04:00Hi Judy, I am amazed by the beautiful work you hav...Hi Judy, I am amazed by the beautiful work you have done on paper... what kind of paper is it?<br />i love both sides.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your work with us. \Cheers<br />IdalinaIdalina M.J DaSilvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792608642483850577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-54936021274645979552017-04-12T10:26:01.379-04:002017-04-12T10:26:01.379-04:00Pretty and messy.
