UNDER THE SEA. UNDER THE MOON – Art Quilt
41.5”H x 30”W

How can I explore what is beyond my sight - what dances under the sea under the moon? Under a full moon at the beach I caught just flashes of life beneath the water. But it was dark and inaccessible. To enter that place I created a portal of artistic imagining. Resist printing, relief printing and direct painting with acrylics on a whole cloth composition became my means to enter the scene. I discovered fish in motion among drops of moonlight that had penetrated the water’s surface. Flashes of color. Even a few extra moons. Where reality places limits, under the sea under the moon, imagination has free reign.

Monotype printing by hand, resist prints and direct painting with archival acrylic paints. Collage construction and machine stitching and quilting. Finishing: bound and fabric-backed. The back has a hanging pocket and a rod, for traditional hanging tapestry presentation. All collaging is with archival matte acrylic medium, (which is invisible) and also protects the surface.
