I’m proud to announce that this coming week (and the next) I’m representing the West Australian Quilters Association as one of several artists in residence at Midland Junction Arts Centre. The artist residency program runs alongside the Stitched and Bound textile exhibition. I’ll be spending my time printing fabric using the Gelli® plate, lino cuts and other print blocks. I’m hoping to create a nice stash of fabrics in the style of the artist Klimt who you’ll probably know from paintings such as “The Kiss”.
To begin with I’ll be studying some of Klimt’s painting and identifying shapes and patterns suitable for print blocks. Next I’ll be carving these designs into lino and also carving some into craft foam with the soldering iron. I’ll be using these blocks in combination with the Gelli® plate to print some fabrics which I then hope to stitch into a Klimt inspired quilt. Perhaps they will be similar to the designs below but with lots more gold just like Klimt’s paintings.
If you would like to visit you are most welcome anytime the gallery is open (Wednesday to Saturday).
