Rainbow Buildings

I've been working on quilting this piece for about a month. There have been a lot of stops and starts on account of problems with my machine and a lot of other things on my plate.
I've been doing a lot of architectural pieces these past 9 months or so.
Why? I think there is symbolism here and a correlation with my artistic life.
An artistic life that I am building. Constructing. Trying to create in a structural way.
I expect I used two or three bottles of glue to create all the resist lines in this piece.
Before washing out the resist, I painted it, then block printed it. I was thinking about trying to create a city that was covered in colorful graffiti. Not sure I accomplished that, exactly, but I have a different idea for the next piece in this series.
Beautiful! I absolutely love the colors, and the glue gel really makes the architectural lines strong. And the stitching is fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteI must try this glue resist!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous piece! The stitching just adds so much! And your paint colors are just beautiful! Very inspiring...
ReplyDeleteI loved your article in Quilting Arts! My friend and I had to try it immediately! The pieces are still drying and need to be washed, but we're so excited. Thanks for a great, inspiring article and such an accessible technique. We teach art at senior centers, and this would be fabulous.
