So Catch up: Collaborative Shows

Since the last time I posted in here, I have participated in a couple of smaller collaborative shows which have been fun. I'm going to put up a few images here, beginning with the oldest and moving on to the one that happened on 11.11.11 (at the start of this month.)

BFA Collaborative Show: Rattles

These are images from the collaborative BFA show, that happened last year actually. *chuckles*. I was paired with and worked with one of the ceramic's BFA's and he created the lovely ceramic (the ones that look like bark), tiles that created the rattle part of the center rattle. Over all it was a fun project.

Textiles Artists Assembling Show: Forces


The theme behind the TAA show was 'Forces', I played around with a circular weave and the way that the wool constrains that when it's felted. The idea was the way that we conform to and confine ourselves to forms within society for various reasons and in various ways. In the end I just liked the form and wanted to try making it.

Eventually I would like to see these things much larger and a whole lot more of them. I would also like to incorporate something coming into or going out of them in some way as well--possibly with a larger or longer fringe on the end of the weaving's.

Cheers!
