40 experiments in textile manipulation



 



Stitchery

I'm not going to start with an intro, you all know who I am. 

This being my final year in the BFA program, I thought it would be interesting to document my works as the year progresses. In my directed studio, our main project is to do a series of 40 experiments of our choice. There will eventually be a whole lot of pictures related to that project, as well as paintings that I've been working on.
It only made sense to make 40 experiments using what I am most familiar with - textiles. Thus far, I've been getting rather intimate with my machine, but also stitching things by hand. Anyway, stay tuned...
