monumental simplicity

The installation of the work in this space at One Sky is celestial.
The pieces are like stars in a constellation, each in its place yet connected to the others with invisible power lines.
Monumental Simplicity is part of this exhibition.

I made it in 2012, the thesis piece for my UK degree. 
A large ‘empty’ square.
with a horizon
and repetitive small marks that distract the eye just enough.

More images of this exhibition are here.

What are you working on now?

I'm taking turns stitching into two pieces.
Connected by their design, both are large nine-patches.
One is stitched with black thread, the other with white thread.
expectations/memories/dreams
 
Circles within squares are design elements they have in common.

The cloth was found in my life collection of small pieces of fancy cloth.
(taffeta, linen damask, wool suiting, and silks of all sorts)
I stitched or painted on all the squares earlier. 
At first I thought that maybe they didn't need hand stitch
I was hoping to love their simplicity more.
But now,  the chika-chika marks of running stitch/ kantha stitch
has risen the level of intimacy in these two wall pieces
and has given them power.

(...and they fit into my suitcase.  Hola from Mexico xo)
