60 x 48 x 1.5 inches (152.4 x 121.92 x 3.8 cm)
mixed media on stitched canvas (unframed)
While reflecting on some unfinished pieces hanging around my studio, I wondered how to move them forward. Rather than stressing over the unresolved areas, I decided to take out my scissors and cut out the parts I really liked. Using my vintage Singer sewing machine, I sewed these pieces back together, resulting in a new collection of "Stitches". These paintings combine raw and gessoed canvas, stitched together to form eclectic, unexpected abstract compositions. Through this process I am exploring the theme of overcoming fears and embracing change, as I let go of completed works and rearrange them in unexpected ways.
