It's June and I'm installing my show with Kyle Ripp tomorrow in the Elizabeth Denison Hatch Gallery, at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts. Here's a teaser. I went back and forth on whether I should paint the wall blue behind it. I have decided to install it and then decide but I think I'm NOT going to paint the wall. I want it to be viewed from as many angles as the space allows and not just from head on. I will know when I get it installed whether I've made the right choice. Since this is my first time showing sculpture in a gallery it's been really hard to visualize it. I'm also working on a sound component which will be available for listening on a personal player with headphones, another first for me. Here is a detail from the painting also included in the show. Title: "Crash, Hush..." 48 x 92 inches (diptych). The opening is this Friday, June 4th, 5:30 - 9 pm. I'll be giving an artist's talk starting with the piece I have included in the member's show NEW juried by Roberta Fallon and ending in the Hatch Gallery. The talk will be sometime between 6:30 and 7:00.

Today finally I got into the studio. I just wanted to see how many different things I could do with some silk carrier rods I had from a previous batch that weren't as good as I have now. So, I just made straight silk paper today. This pic is of the four layers peeled off just one rod. Dip each layer into water and lay onto non stick paper- glad bake or teflon- whatever you have that is a non stick surface. Overlap the layers, they are going to stick to each other, This pic shows the first vertical layer and then the laying down of the horizontal layer. Then teasing the fibres apart, I lay bits down on areas that look thin, play with colour and diffuse the appearance of 'lines'. Cover with another layer of glad bake or non stick surface.... Using the iron on dry and a cotton setting I iron back and forth until all of the water has evaporated away. Remove the paper and you should have a firm piece of silk 'paper'. The photos are not very good, I just can't get the depth of colour in this light. This side is the 'right' side. It's pretty stiff, the silk worm's sericin has not been processed out so it enables the silk to fuse together in the presence of water and heat from the iron. I'm bending it here in my hand. Not sure what I will do with it, probably stamp it, apply fabric, gold leaf, vintage paper....... Tomorrow, I'll do something else with more rods.
Here are a few notes and photos from an all-day silk fusion workshop. It is in the process (like papercasting) of being made into an online course through the LinkedIn group FAMM (fiber and mixed media). They will be six-week courses with step-by-step lessons in a forum where you can post photos, ask questions, etc. Most likely I will post all the lessons at once so you can move faster if you like. Of course, I'm always happy to travel to teach, as well. Silk Workshop in Jefferson City MO Meanwhile, here in Jefferson City, a great group of ladies managed to complete five different projects in a day. This let them experience various ways you can make and use silk fusion (it's like paper, and sort of like fabric, but technically not either one). They made a sheet of it big enough to sew and embellish as a small purse (or for a wall hanging or other uses), and a sculpted bowl, two or three or four or five pins (brooches), a couple of ornaments (or earrings!), and put silk designs behind a glass plate. Whew! no wonder I'm worn out! laying down fibers for silk fusion at the Art Bazaar Here's a participant laying out silk fibers on nylon net to make a sculpted bowl. After two or three layers, more netting or tulle is put on top. making silk "paper" or fusion The silk has to be wet down with soapy water to break the resistance to absorption silk fusion being made in Jefferson City MO Here's a shallow bowl nearly dry, she was looking to make it like wood and decided maybe the silk ended up more like leather, but we all loved it however you describe it. silk fiber bowl Here are a few of the pins silk fusion pins drying silk fusion pin being created and a pin being created by "smooshing" the fiber "bat" into a mold. Silk fusion can be sewn on, painted, cut and glued or sewn together, worn or hung on a wall or made into masks or flowers or pins or collars or cards..... I recommend the book "Take Silk" if you'd like to learn more. For other examples of fusion, like covered frames, mosiacs, etc, go to "fiberscribe" gallery on the website. I'm hoping some of the participants will share their finished products when everything dries and gets embellished with wires and beads and whatever else this creative group is likely to come up with. If you feel you missed out, there will be another Art Bazaar silk fusion class in the fall, you can get on the list now to be notified when it gets closer.
