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".
