This piece was inspired by the "blue star" as seen from the Hubbel telescope. I used this image for the exercise in which we were to incorporate the background into the foreground or visa versa. Now I can't even remember what it was we were suppose to do and I'm definitely not sure I succeeded either way. It is hand dyed cotton and commercial rayon with found Point Arena beach glass and beaded gel painted with gold ink. Machine applique and quilted.
it makes me see it as something underwater rather than in space, but on the other hand, i've spent an awful lot of time watching that oil well blowing a mile down...so ocean's on my mind.
ReplyDeletegreat texture, and the background dark blue is, i think, exactly what the bckground integration is about. i would never think to use that pink with that orange, and i'm not sure that i like it being quite so horizontal and so close to the midline, but the color combination really works! judy
