We had an assignment to do for art school. A personal project where we were to take a building that interested is and take photos, do studies, experiment and generally play.
My inspiration is the sunroom that my husband and I built, it was made with reclaimed Windows and clad in the outside with reclaimed copper. I don’t own that house any more, but I visited recently and I love the way the copper is weathering. I did lots of drawings, collage etc. But then reduced a drawing to a simple line drawing and made a lino cut, and printed fabric. I am surprised and really like how it turned out, it has a very 50s vibe.
I really love seeing how you’ve reduced it down to the simplest details and then used that to make more complex patterns. I am very interested in seeing where this quilt idea goes, too!
Your recent posts all make me want to sign up for art school!
The fabric is wonderful; I love how the color superimposed a window pattern on everything. And I agree with @Abbeeroad that the overlapping prints are just so cool! Wow, an art quilt sounds like a fabulous idea, too… can’t wait to see!
