Hi this is my piece for the "Text" theme. The background piece of cloth is a piece that I feel looks like the creation of the universe. Next I printed two different layers of The Lord's Prayer in "text" speak. On top of this I stenciled the beginning of John's Gospel and then I tied it all together through three layers with thick perle thread.
Preachers often say "The text for today's sermon" and that is where the rest rolled from.
Wonderful! and yet another interesting take on the theme! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA very thought provoking piece Ali and it's lovely, I particularly like the subtlety and depth of the colouring
ReplyDeleteWell done
Great impact. I love the layered text. Are the edges left raw to reflect the theme of the beginning.? I agree with you Ali that the colours suggest the beginning of the universe.
ReplyDeleteYes Irene, I felt somehow to edge this piece would detract from "the beginning" I am using these challenges to experiment with techniques and thoroughly enjoying myself!
ReplyDeleteGlad I had read it correctly, it is not always easy to get the full impact of peoples' work when one is looking at it online.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely piece!
