We all have inner landscapes that we keep tucked away. Artists often bring forth that inner world with their work. Witnessing the process unfold is a dynamic experience. As a piece is created, life is literally breathed into it and the potential of what it will one day be... becomes a palatable presence in the room. I had the honor of watching a gifted artist at work this weekend, and it left a huge impression on me. I attended a phenomenal screen printing workshop all weekend and during our class a member of the studio came in to work on her current piece. I don't know very much about
Michel Droge, besides these photos... but I'm eager to see more of her work. She generously took time to talk and share and even gave me permission to photograph her process.
The gorgous texture and
landscape of the paper was created with vintage fishing nets... they definitely caught me... can't get them out of my mind. Photos don't do them justice.
I have a great review of my workshop coming up in the morning...

I really love the cut out and embossed paper. The fact that it was made with vintage fishing nets just adds to its beauty. I would love to try something like that with fabric or felt one day.
ReplyDeleteIsn't silkscreening wonderful.
