Another in the Altered Ancestors series, I'm going to enter it in a juried show with theme of "landscape". I'm all over the place right now, as you can see...just a common thread, I guess...
a really interesting piece - green growth appears to be attached to her face parasitically; strong sense of ambiguity. good luck with entry in landscape show.
Is this really embroidered, with thread and needle, or is that your term for the (painted?) tree? I really can't tell when I enlarge the photo and your techniques are always so unusual! I really, really like this!
f- yes, it is really embroidered. it presents an interesting probelem in mounting, it's necessary to steam a piece of acid free paper and press the photo (back covered with archival glue) into the paper with a piece of felt underneath, so that that the damp paper absorbs the bumpy back threads and I don't end up with a warped surface.
Very taken with that: the green is a startling shade and fabulously done but it is that sea that's really speaking to me at the moment. Giving an eternity to it. And great star.

That's really cool. Something surreal and evocative about this one for sure.
