Wall Marks Part 2





I spent a few hours in the gallery space today for 6 in Studio.
The plan now is to sew lengths of cut red transparency plastic and hang it in front of the marks on the wall.
All this work, my ideas, and results are borne from a sense of stream-of-consciousness.
One of my studio-mates asked me whether I had predetermined to hang the sewn red strips in front of the wall. 
"No", "It came to me this morning when I remembered that I had a rogue piece of red transparent paper".

I am using what I already have in my stash of stuff, except for the red marker.

This studio mate gave me great ideas for lighting the work. She's a professional photographer who works at the NASA-Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. I'm pleased at the quality and commitment  each artist is giving to this event.

I'll be at the gallery/studio next Sunday, we'll see what develops.

  1. It is so exciting to watch the progression of this, Chrisitine. I really like how your stream of consciousness has added to what you've started. I only wish that I could see it in person along with the other artists' works.

    1. It was such a strange piece of paper for me to have tucked away...

  4. This piece is really developing beautifully! The additional layer of "rogue red" rectangle is wonderful. Go Christine!!!

  6. I love the idea that an onlooker will see the marks on the wall through the moving fragments. It will be quite an experience I imagine. Red is such a potent colour - have you seen the work of Emily Barletta? http://emilybarletta.com/section/204626_recent_art.html
    Good luck with the show.

    1. Hi Olga, I love using red in my stitching and mark making on paper. I've post images earlier in this blog. And yes! I just became aware of Emily Barletta. She is one of the artists whose work is in a show with me and few others at Kellijane in Fiber Philadelphia 2012. I was struck at how her marks, while not exactly like mine, are aligned with what I do. Splendid all the way around!

  7. Wow, Chris...that just adds a whole nother dimension...

    Bet it looks like those marks are 'freeing' themselves from the wall and floating out to greet you!

    Can't WAIT to see this. Wish I hadn't had to miss the last ArtWalk. Shoot.
