I started by shaping yellow thread on felt to make a number “5”, then I overlayed layers of glass, painting clouds onto each one and discovering new shapes to highlight. Medium: Yellow yarn on felt with added layers of liquid chalk and acrylic paint on glass illuminated by UV and LED light.

What will this image become next?

5B: Reversed Dirt

Starting from 5A: Sawdust Walker, I printed a grayscale version of the image on transparency paper two times, then placed one image reversed upon the other over a light board. The violet hue comes from a desk lamp, which I have set to that color. To follow the thread forward, visit 5C: Locust Pose 1.

5C: Locust Pose

A locust line drawing that emerged from an exploratory pattern-seeking exercise in response to 5B: Reverse Umbra. Compare Figures 2 & 3. Do you recognize the same pattern in the dirt image?

5A: Sawdust Walker

I enjoyed walking in the soft, cool sawdust today. I focused my attention on the physical sensation in my feet, taking a short video at the end of my walking meditation to capture a starting point for future artistic exploration. Follow the thread to 5B: Reversed Dirt. What shapes will appear in the dirt?

3B: Seven Weeks at Sea

Visit post 3A, where I describe how I’ll soon make drawings over the yellow number 7 I discovered during creative exploration. The 7 is made of thread (yarn) haphazardly placed on a carpeted wall. I “found” the number 7 shape and fleshed out the observation. I wondered what the 7 could mean. To find out […]

3A: I’m Going To Turn This Into Something Else

I plan to add layers of glass over this section of the wall to make additional markings over the top of the yellow thread. The thread was laid randomly during reflection time and it appears that a “7” emerged. I feel a sense of possibility with this new section of the wall where I can […]
