Sewing techniques








Here's a few more drawings that feature the hand sewing...pretty fun!

See-through drawings





Some of the latest drawings I'm doing incorporate architectural drafting film, which one of the graduating grad students gave me when she was cleaning out her studio. It's been really fun to work with, as it allows me to mask some of the areas a bit, as well as pierce the surface of the paper to make some things move from the front to the back. Two-sided drawings are next, I think.

Getting somewhere






All the experimentation is starting to pay off; I have a lot more freedom in my process now, and I'm actually chomping at the bit every day to get into the studio to see where it will go next. I've started incorporating some hand sewing techniques, which has been really fun. I just got a sewing machine, so who knows what will happen next!
