Corduroy Studies

Starting with thirty six images of corduroy, every year the images are used in new and different way to create new work.  Together, the large studies create movement where none exists. As blocks, they create intersecting planes on a 2D surface of a 3D object. Torn as collages, they paint a landscape with powerful mountains jutting toward the sky. Sewn together, they remind us to reduce, reuse, recycle. Editing the colors to make bold statement pieces in orange, purple, green or earth tones. And most recently, overlaying color filter to connect the individual pieces and make new vibrant works all using the same 36 images.

All the corduroy images are printed on cotton rag with archival pigment inks.
