I tried to find a picture of the original deconstructed screen printed fabric I started with, but I cannot find one. I am thinking perhaps I did not take a photo because I was so profoundly disappointed with my results. This first piece of screen printed fabric I ever did had problems because the red dye bled with the washout and the whole thing was pink. So I overpainted the whole thing with yellow - which improved it only slightly. Above, I have an image of a 12" square piece I did using some small scraps of that fabric - just to give you an idea where I started.
I am not sure what made me decide to cut it all up into circles, but I did it one day and then put them aside. When I unburied them during a studio purge - I auditioned them with some hand painted gray leftover from my Evening Walk series. I thought this showed promise, so I continued on with it.
