These are some mini landscapes composed in freehand patchwork, a large group of which I did several years ago for an exhibition.\u00a0 They were framed in fabric, hand quilted in a minimalist way (by this time\u00a0between 6″\u00a0and 9″ dimensions)\u00a0 then mounted on woven recycled newspaper mounts, which seemed <\/em>like a good idea at the time.<\/p>\n

A year or two back I removed those that hadn’t sold\u00a0from their newspaper mounts and brought them back to Uruguay with me.\u00a0 Well I tidied\u00a0my workroom a couple of weeks ago, and in that process found them, and have since mislaid them again.\u00a0 ‘The painters have been in…’\u00a0 \u00a0is my current excuse\u00a0.\u00a0 But wherever they are lurking,\u00a0they have been somewhere in the forefront of my mind since a recent conversation about new work in general with Miguel at Galeria Los Caracoles; and so\u00a0I am doing some new small pieces to be mounted in some way. I have ideas on that of course that do not involve newspaper in any form<\/em>, and will try a couple out.\u00a0 These small compositions are\u00a0merely 5″-6″ across.\u00a0 The first one I made I cropped out of the photo\u00a0because by comparison it looked really crappy.\u00a0 So now what you see as the left hand one is just\u00a0‘OK”, \u00a0and then the right hand one, the 3rd I made, \u00a0I feel is getting nearer the mark of where I want to be with this work:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Obviously, they are ‘tops’ only –\u00a0 and so therefore\u00a0WIPs,\u00a0<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>but for today I am content to continue on with these mini compositions and see what\u00a0 develops further… getting my eye in you might say. \u00a0 Black’s dramatic, ecru will be lovely and quite different,\u00a0plus\u00a0I have several lovely colours of some hand dyed fabrics that will be interesting borders, too.\u00a0 However I\u00a0present them finally, I will not be weaving mats of recycled newspaper on which to mount them !<\/em><\/p>\n

One interesting thingI find is that\u00a0whenever I re-visit older work, something new and a bit different emerges, and it is often surprising.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
