good morning.
i don't really enjoy things when they cannot be touched. but i have been thinking about light and dark lately. the patterns that occur through observation, reflections. shadow, exposure. layers of light and dark.
so i have been putting things under glass. and taking pictures. looking. creating realtime double exposure. playing with that idea. without acting.
and then, finally finding the time to try using that to express moments of reflection. on cloth. creating resist to mimic that effect. for some new sort of drama or natural order to composition. cold walnut soak over cotton/ silk ikat (soy milk mordant) using soy wax as resist. dyed twice. the second time with only part the cloth submerged to create a shadow line. prepared a week ago, dyed when folks were sleeping.
i will need a nap today.
maybe at mom's.
