 Personal Project 

I created an abstract and minimal combination of plaster, textiles, and acrylic paint on canvas. The construction is piecing, constructing, and stitching on unstretched canvas surface. The exploration of how these interact to create ​​solidarity. I am inspired by mid-century modern with fluid, organic geometric shapes combined with line-work. The multiple layers of modern design, texture, color, in a mix of materials create a dynamic composition.


Final Outcome

  • Title:  untitled
  • Unstretched canvas, acrylic paint, and felt
  • 3ft x 2.5 



in-process image, I did the plaster first 

I then painted it grey and did black felt on the trim, I wanted it to be darker so I did another layer and added in black paint.

Dye Experiments I explored the various processes of natural dye using dye baths. The n atural dyes we used were extracted from particular roots, wood, bark, leaves, flowers, nuts, insects, shellfish and mineral compounds. I cut 12 pieces of 100% cotton and hand-sewed a tight knit to create a pattern when taken out of the dye bath. I used marbles sewed into the fabric to create a circular pattern. Other materials to create patterns were rubber bands and binder clips. I did different times in the bath to  provide stronger  and longer lasting color, and some faint and light.  in-process photo.  x 12 final
