This is a close up detail

of "Awaken"

"Awaken"

This artwork was created by using rusty metal to print on silk, the rusted silk was then torn into strips and woven off loom, freeform machine stitching was added , hand painted face, stitched loops and an old recycled piece of wood from an old fence. I feel in some ways like I have been asleep for a long time and am just waking up, I believe this feeling is being shared by many others. We are all just waking up to co create a wonderful new vision of what our world can really be. But waking up can be scary and many are feeling the fear. Breathe consciously and surrender to the moment.

"Across"

This artwork is titled "Across" the Universe. I created it using rusty metal printed on silk, then I took one of the rusted metal "planet" shapes and scanned it into my computer , had some digital play fun with it and printed it in grayscale and then transfer printed it onto the silk. I sewed on a piece of old wood from a torn down fence to complete and to allow for hanging of the piece. I've been thinking a lot about our connection to each other to our earth and the earth to the universe. I believe it is foolish of us to think that we are the only inhabited planet in this universe.

Collective Oneness

9-9-09 seems an appropriate day to post this artwork

called Collective Oneness and celebrating between the one and the nine. One is the "I" the single mind, the nine is the community, the collective consciousness. Somewhere in between the two is where we all live.

This piece was created using rusty metal to print on cotton fabric which was then dyed and transfer printed with digital photo images.

Soul Journey

This piece is called Soul Journey, about my path thru this life.

To create it I used rusty metal to print on cotton for the background, additional sheer cotton was rust printed and stitched on top of the background. The symbol was screenprinted and

represents the soul's journey up thru life. The finished piece was

then mounted on a wood board. This piece is 14 inches by 21.5 inches
