Dichotomy = Division into two usually contradictory parts or opinions.
This is the first piece in my Dichotomy series. It's called "Erased". The text behind the pattern is obliterated; mostly gone except in memory where it is scattered, no longer whole. Two layers, two meanings, one moment in time.
Nearly all of my artwork gets a personal name. This time the name/concept came first. This series is an abstraction of deeply personal meanings but I have chosen to use a formulaic method to represent these thoughts using hand-dyed cloth, text and graphic pattern to render the work.
The art is not completely finished but the top is done. Later on, after all the tops are finished I will come back and complete the work.
I'm thinking about the next one right now. It will be called "Brise Soleil".

Very interesting. The colors look wonderful even though I'm sure some of it is lost in translation from reality to internet to my computer.
Very very nice work there!
You mention that when you are done with all the "tops" you'll complete the work. What is the "completed" work going to be?
Thanks for asking, Walks!
The completed work will be a large wallhanging. I will be adding several layers of fabric (making a quilt sandwich) to the back to stablize the piece and help it hang straight and adding a hanging sleeve to the back.
