Current themes exploring...

Denim.... Surprise!  it's been my theme this year.  It started with using it as a material source to paint on it.  I have seen other artists stretch it and make a canvas out of it.   I wanted to not be so traditional with it, so I took swatches of old recycled jeans, mostly my own, and began sewing them together.  I am not a great sewer so I used my non-skills as part of the process when creating my denim hide used for my work Eight in Six, shown below:

I am even pushing denim further in my practice by exploring it as a medium.  I have already deconstructed it down to a dust and to make a pigment out of it as part of research.  I will continue to explore this further.  In my current project I have used it as part of a medium/ material by incorporating it within the composition as swatches, and threads:

I have also been playing with other material as newspaper and rubber matting as seen above.  I will share more on this work as a finished project next week, in the meantime see the update process in the response section.

Another use of denim as media that I have found a new love for is mixing the painting on denim as a canvas then dipping it into a wheat paste and forming it into sculpture.  I will be exploring this idea further in my current works that are in progress.  Below is a one project completed.
