One year one hundred works

no 62 – Fabric sketch

Jo — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:33:58 +0000

This month I attended the Henry Moore Textiles private view at Pallant House and then spent a few days thinking about my work on fabric.I have had the idea to reproduce my work onto textiles and then design clothes for a long, long time now, but feel more inspired than ever. Many artists have looked at me with horror when I mention thoughts about this and other surfaces in general. Unfortunately I cant help thinking that this is quite sad as out there are so many beautiful creative outlets beyond the square canvas and the white gallery walls. The moleskin sketch above is the beginning of some fabric ideas which I will be painting in watercolour and then scanning. This will then move me forward with ideas about the final fabric and the repetition of image on material. The images will be traced live on Illustrator and then fed back into my digital diary as vector graphics or I may just scan the originals to leave it more painterly and classic. The essence of everything that I produce is beauty.

unexpected beauty beneath

Jo — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:24:25 +0000

I am currently working on seven panels at once now as well as the portrait and decided this week I would invest in an electric sander. The panel paintings require lots of layering of paint and usually after I have done this I begin sanding. I strip them all back in order to reveal detailed work from previous painting sessions.This technique has always been labored and time consuming as well as messy. I want to reveal the unexpected beauty beneath. I then paint over with another layer and providing that a few of millimeters are of luminous colour are still intact at the end then it would have been worth all the effort. The fear that this fiery little DIY number could potentially wreck six months careful work was fairly visible with the shaking hands but once destruction was viewed as an opportunity I surfed across the panels like it was an iron.
