hi everyone
thanks for all the comments on the giveaway - oh my there's a lot of chocolates I've never heard of that I need to try - I really enjoyed the comments that had nostalgic memories of chocolate.
the random winner chosen is Morgan Wedderspoon - congratulations - you have till 6pm today to claim the giveaway or another person will be chosen.
On the weekend I manage to finish the wall hanging and today it's off to be installed. I found doing something other than production quite satisfying and feel that I have to make a concious effort to do so.
I wanted to leave you with the statement about this piece:
This wall hanging is made of natural dyed fabric -linen and cotton - that forms a landscape of irregular shapes, surfaces and convolutions. But unlike a conventionally mapped surface, this landscape suggests that which is contrary to the grid: formed not from subdividing a space but from the inside out, a bricolage expanding outwards, growing into and finding their shape (coloured component). While necessarily contained within a frame, the landscape inside also suggests a greater field- a continuation beyond its limits, suggesting an unknowable that can only be imagined from its fragmented state.
I also wanted to let you know that the triangle tote bag is now in the shop along with the zipper option.
have a great start to your week
xxa

It's beautiful, Arounna. It reminds me a lot of the gorgeous aerial photos of Earth that Chris Hadfield has been posting from space.
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful description of your wonderful piece reminded me how much I hated having to write down descriptions of my work in college :-P ah those were the days... Love you A! Glad you and M had a nice time together over the weekend. Miss U guys!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! Did you attach all those pieces by hand?
ReplyDeleteI did, but the bias trim was done with a machine
DeleteLovely piece! It is hard to make time for the non production creative stuff, but so rewarding. You inspire me!
ReplyDeleteLucky Morgan!
ReplyDeleteLove the wall hanging. The irregular shapes remind me so much of patchwork of fields and cornish hedges around where I live.
yes - it's loosely based on arial views of fields - and the yellow line represents the journey.
DeleteWhat a wonderful piece you made there Arounna !!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the grays and just that little bit of colour !
And then that fine line swirling over it, GREAT !
(I would lóve to, but couldn't make something like
that: a too colour-happy person ..... ;-) never satisfied
with only a few shades, always want áll of the rainbow )
Oh Arounna, this piece is absolutely exceptionnal ! Oh how much I wish I could visit your shop & see it closer !!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a special way of finishing it in the back for an easier hanging/display ?
xoxo
sonia I'm glad you like it - I do a fabric pocket at the top and slip a dowel
Deletethat way it doesn't sag
I don't like it, I LOVE it !! Thank you for telling me how you finished it ! xoxo
Deleteit reminds me of flying over the mountains with small roads winding through them on our last trip to visit geninne. I remember thinking how wonderful it would be to explore those paths.
ReplyDeleteLovely work, Arounna. It reminds me of aerial views and maps of our rural landscape here in the Cotswolds, England. But ours are very, very green. Yours is so beautifully bleached and restrained in colour. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSoftly built fields, just beautiful xxx
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful... I love the piping detail (is that what it is?). I hope to see more of this work in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, so inspiring!
