Studio Time

This is a current experiment that attempts to combine the aesthetic of some of the string/rope/wood/etc collages I’ve done in the past with that of the automatic (scribble) drawings I use to generate nearly everything I do.

The heavier, straight lines on this are made from heavy cord. The squiggly lines are made from thread. The drips are acrylic medium that will eventually run off of the paper or dry transparent. This is the second coat. If you look closely, you can see that some of the thread is still “floating” a bit. It will probably require at least one more coat.

Drawing with thread is “different”. It’s definitely a technique that requires some practice. Hopefully, I’ll improve if this turns out to be something worth pursuing. I do have a few of these going. Practice makes “perfect”, no?

Anyway… I’ll see how this goes and post the occasional update. It is one of quite a few experiments I have going. I’m sure they’ll all appear here as well.
