DAY 8: UNTITLED

UNTITLED

Dear Friend, 

When I was working on this piece, a title never came to me and I can't just throw out a title so here it is...'untitled'.

I am really excited because I made a couple of new screens today for printing and burnt a lot of images that I have been wanting to use.  I only use images that have a strong significance or meaning to me.  Sometimes I don't even know what that meaning is to start with, there is just something that draws me to certain things, but the more I use it and the more I work with it, it begins speaking to me.  That's the way this image is right now.  To me it shows femininity in it's shape and yet has a rawness to it because it is wire.  As I have mentioned before, opposites, or contrasts are very appealing to me.  I love fashion.  Fashion designers fascinate me.  People who sew fascinate me.  I wish I knew how to sew.  On top of the image I drew out a pattern to a dress that could be put on the mannequin when it is finished.

Sincerely,
Angeles
