I’m working on new work for a September group show at Foster/White Gallery. I’m making nine new 12-inch-square panels. I’m intentionally working in the same color palette for both the work going to Foster/White and to the Bellevue Arts Museum. It’s all variations on red-violet. It ties the pieces together visually should anyone make the connection between the work. Hopefully they’ll be up at the same time.

I went through last week and did initial choices for the fabrics for the squares. They have a different feeling than the ones I did this Spring. The color palette for those was greens and browns. When the panels were finished they felt very much like aerial photographs of geologic structures. These feel more like geological images from under the earth. Strata of ore and gemstones peep out as if from slices of the Earth. At least, that’s what I’m thinking for now.
