Surging Ahead on my Urban Graffiti - Untitled

2/22/2015

0 Comments

 
I have had a very productive weekend working on my piece for the Quilts on the Wall upcoming exhibit "Urban Graffiti".  I have done a lot of quilting on the piece and I only have a few design issues that I am still working on. I have dug through a lot of my fabrics looking for some that look like paint. I think I have done a good job getting that feeling across. Thankfully, I had a lot of Ghanaian fabrics to choose from.

I have included some of the detail photos in the slide show. I hope they pique your interest.

Street Art Throwdown and my Graffiti Project

2/6/2015

0 Comments

 
I am happily working on my latest project for the Quilts on the Wall exhibit "Urban Graffiti". I have been busy on Pinterst and the web collecting some amazing works of street art for inspiration. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing. I can do most of my research right at home! Banksy has an amazing amount of work out there that is both poignant and thought provoking. David Zinn is all about whimsy.

After looking at hundreds (maybe thousands) of examples and selecting over 50 for future reference I came up with a personal style that I think will fit the challenge. Working with Photoshop I simplified my original design so that it would translate well in fabric.

Last weekend after designing my main component, I headed over to Kinko's to get a full size print made for my master pattern. I have been rummaging through all my hand dyed and Ghana batiks to get a painterly feel for my piece. The family room looked like a fabric explosion for a few days (OK, a week) but those are now all folded and reorganized. I have made most of my color and fabric selections and I am happy with my progress.

I was also inspired by the new show on Oxygen called "Street Art Throwdown". It is interesting to see the process actual street artists do as they lay out their work on such a large scale and on difficult surfaces. I am hopeful I will be able to capture some of that energy in my piece.
