Something Old into Something New

Four Scrap Weavings, work in progressFour Scrap Weavings, work in progress

Don't you love finding treasure when you least expect it?

 

I found this:

And I'm turning them into these:

Scrap Weave 6.29, paper weaving, 4.75 x 4"

Where did these strips originate?

Way back in 1976, I was creating silkscreened monoprints (single prints with different combinations of screens/colors).

Veils 14 ‐ silkscreen monoprint on paper ‐ 17.75" x 10.75" ‐ Available

Back then, I created a couple of pieces with cut strips of reject prints


Woven Veils ‐ collage on paper ‐ 13.5" x 17" ‐ Available


Screen ‐ mixed media collage on canvas ‐ 71" x 56" x 0.25" ‐ Available

 

The strips I'm currently using come from color laser printed copies of "good" prints from the 1976 "Veils" series.

I created them at the day job in 2009, for a piece created for an exhibition in 2009.

Now I'm using my paper weaving technique

I'm envisioning a large piece with all the weaving patches interlaced into one. Stay tuned!

Sharing art daily with Anne has been a wonderful morning connection for me. This paper history is rich. I didn't realize the materials and the process went back to 1976!
