take two

A couple of years ago I made a series of small paintings which I called the "Multiples" (you can see them here).  Now I am revisiting that idea, with a little variation: I want to create a kind of tapestry rather than paintings per se.  

The repetitive nature of the process is very meditative and relaxing.  As I work, many permutations run through my mind; nothing is settled and the possibilities remain open at this stage.  It's a wonderful place to work from.

After several coloured printings the plates become very beautiful.

All these little pieces: they are all the same, but different.  Mostly the same though.

Thank you Barbara,

"Industry" is the perfect word for what I am doing - I feel like a machine! *laughs* Honestly, I've really set myself up for intensity/insanity with this project, it's going to be (I hope) an installation show. Wish me luck!
