'Painting Rag' Sculpture

Painting Rag Sculpture 
original artwork
 
Professionally framed in UV anti-reflective glass

Assorted paints with hand embroidered cottons, wool, threads and beads on cotton painting rag used in my studio
 
Scrunched up to mimic the original purpose of the cloth this piece is part sculpture, painting and textile art - an accumulation of materials and technique. The Painting Rag Sculpture started out as a piece of cloth used in my studio, where colours gradually and unintentionally built up over time. Wanting to immortalise this vital fabric and pay homage to this often overlooked object, I used the spontaneity of the various paint splotches to guide and drive where stitches and beads follow, enchancing the natural stains of the fabric by gradually building up more marks.
 
Please note this artwork is professionally boxed framed with UV anti-reflective glass (of $500 value) which is used to highlight the various textures, colours and detail of the artwork.
