I’ve lost so much time over the past few weeks. More than a ‘lost week-end’ at any rate. I’m sure I’ve missed the deadline for the third Acquired Collective submission. I do feel that though anonymous they are jolly nice people and will tolerate a late entry. So I’ve chosen one lovely playing card from the fabulous collection they sent to me (and will be returned to them). It reminds me of pattern for cross stitch, or a miniature stitched sampler, something definitely stitchy.
And tried to come up with something pretty rapid for the submission. I did a computer print ‘lift’ soaking an A4 copy in water. Interesting. Didn’t work and mainly fell apart. Just my sort of thing really. You can do it with white spirit on a magazine picture but I guess everyone knows that since Rauschenberg.
Sepia coloured and re-pieced this is reminiscent of ancient textile fragments. Can making a piece of work be quite so easy – yes if the deadline has passed! Only time will tell. Check their site.
