Description This is a project for my advanced Print class. I was using a lot of my old blocks and experimenting with transparency and waxed paper. I think they may be more interesting displayed individually but this how it looks pinned to the wall of the art school. Hopefully I will be able to scan details, some of it's hard to see.

It's like I've been looking for this kind of art and you brought it to me

good god, that is stunning all together! It's both very alive and very tranquil; a sort of appealing purity.

Thanks Karwei!

I do need a better way to display them other than push pins. I am not sold on displaying them all together because I really thought about them as individual pieces. Maybe when I can scan a few... I dunno this is not a final solution.

That would make a really beautiful quilt.

I believe quilting is one of the most successful uses of a grid in art.

I saw this BFA student last year make these quilts with the indention of sleeping figures stitched as if they had just left their impression and had been sleeping there. It made me tear up a little it was so good.

something about the idea that your things remember you even when your gone and also a sense of loss... like finding the dented pillow of someone you love who is no longer there. The quilts were white and I am afraid they didn't get the notice they deserved at the show. Not flashy enough.

Ah, yes, I can definitely identify with that sense of absence. We recently lost one of our dogs, and everywhere I go I see the lack of him, you know? I think absence can be a very powerful force in art. Now I just need to learn how to harness it like that quilt-maker did.
