In my previous post<\/a> I referred to how Pinterest images often speak to me about interpretations in stitch even though they may not be textiles or stitch at all. A while ago I noticed this image of a work by Jeffrey Allen Price of NY, USA, and pinned it to my ‘Grids!’ Pinterest board:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circles within squares, by artist Jeffrey Allan Price, dimensions and date uncertain, but pre 2013.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I followed the link to the person who pinned it in 2013, and then looked at the artist’s website. <\/a> My computer wouldn’t open some of the sections, but in one of the thumbnail captions I noticed the word ‘rustagrams’ <\/em>which I think is a pretty neat term for rusted fabric, a popular technique in textile art at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the circle within a square is one of those compositions as old as Time itself, widely used by quilt makers, fibre and textile artists and others working in all kinds of media. I myself used it in this diptych: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sweat of The Sun; Tears Of The Moon” 2018, 125cm x 60cm<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, though I initially pinned Allen’s image because I love grid layouts, and though I’m sure the surface markings are hand painted, what that work now says to me is “sheers + stitch embellishment”,<\/strong><\/em> which’s what I am going to explore in my next exploration. Considering the small size, I’ll do a trial of maybe 9 x 1″ squares of silk and maybe other organzas (nylon lift fairly soon after fusing, but are fine if they’re stitched down – see the final pic in the last post.) Under each of those will be a gold lame circle. I think it will work well, but if it’s just too fiddly I’ll do 4 x 1.5in squares. The stitch embellishment will depend partly on the background I put those pieces onto, and I need a change from black.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
