This piece was created from paint and hosiery on cradled board.
This nine panel piece was created from 9 pairs of tights on cradled boards with knotting.
It is part of a series where I more interested in revealing that the material being used is hosiery/tights.
This piece was inspired by the beautiful view from my studio/home window during an artist’s residency at the The Hambidge Center for Arts and Sciencectober and the vast open meadow was teeming with chirping insects, croaking frogs, tall grasses, and wildflowers. From my second story porch I could take it all in.
I created the work by stretching hosiery/tights over boards, strategically burning them with a torch, then layering them over cradled boards and making adjustments to the shapes and patterns. I made some final burn patterns after the piece was assembled. Finished piece is 12 x18x1.”
