The intention for Flow was to create marks with two self-imposed problems: first, to fill 3-dimensional area and second, to achieve a mental state of focus and full involvement within the process of assembling the work. <br /><br />Mark making is my response to the demands and needs of life-events that often seem uncontrollable. This discovery has been the conduit for creating a calm mind and state of relaxed awareness for me. The red transparent Rubylith masking film has been stitched together using thread. The thread becomes less noticeable as one gains distance from the work. The red strips are directly related to how marks are made on a flat surface. The soft red tulle hanging within the strips of sewn red lines acts as a secondary opacity layer where the viewer may be able to rest ones’ eyes, if even for a brief moment, before continuing to move visually from mark to mark around the sculpture.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048753941726949285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-64727013343957576052012-06-01T13:14:29.284-04:002012-06-01T13:14:29.284-04:00Congrats!!!

The tulle adds an interesting layer...do you mind sharing the evolution?<br />Anyway, I loved the original and this whole concept. <br />Thanks for sharing (and the packing process, too)...we have those d*mn acoustical tiles in our house, too (a 1928 bunged-up-alow) and I've always HATED them. So nice that they've made their butt-ugly little selves useful! (Hmmm...stabbing them with little nails or pushpins in the name of art...hmmm...justifiable torture...;-)<br />And I love how your art's starting 'migrating' off the walls...2-D made 3-D!Petrenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535716984307694726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-23206572967899283792012-05-31T17:10:00.276-04:002012-05-31T17:10:00.276-04:00How wonderful!
