Orange Frass
detail of Orange Frass
With the addition of embroidery, I have moved the work for my August 2009 at Blackfish Gallery in slightly different direction than that of the original ‘Home’ series. The ‘Home’ series began as a broad exploration of what ‘Home’ is and devolved into the specific homey activity of embroidery. Young girls learned embroidery at home and at school by making samplers which they would keep to remind them of the stitches they learned. I’ve taken the idea of a sampler and made it contemporary with the use of screenprinting and instead of bible versus I’ve used modern phrases such as ‘Dude’ and ‘Right on!’ Enjoy and keep on stitching!
