Shadow of the Past – © 2009-2015 - Thread on Rust Pigmented Textile - 42.75” x 25.75” (109 x 66cm) - $9,000 Shadow of the Past has required a longer than usual completion window. This piece was begun in 2009 as my first experiment in using “old iron” that I scavenged from the woods around my studio. I used a shroud from a tractor’s radiator and a brake wheel to rust the background fabric. The pigmented fabric hung in my studio for the next several years. I couldn’t decide if it was ready for the hand stitching phase or if it needed something else. I couldn’t visualize it past this point so other work kept taking precedence over it. The dense textural hand stitching design finally floated up to my conscious level and I began working on it April to September of 2015. This artwork won the Mixed Media category $5,000 award for the National Weather Center Exhibition in 2017 and it has won several other juried awards.
