This is a part of a series of posts about process. It records the various minutes/days of being an artist in the midst of creating work that always leads to discovery, whether via smooth or bumpy paths.
These are studies for a larger piece that will include more images and fabric…creating something to reflect my daughter’s peaceful sleep that belies her nightmares that come every night. I drew these on paper with charcoal and then blew them up on the computer and printed them on fabric using my computer. But now my art teacher recommends (strongly) that I make them life-sized so I will need to rely on old-fashioned drawing skills to create larger originals. Larger is harder! We’ll see.
