Object de Art
Monday, June 28th, 2010A little something I worked on while the man in my life was away for a couple weeks. While not a functioning teapot, it does function as a small box (the lid is removable).
I will soon start on the 3-D hanging mobile piece that I plan to submit to The VI International Biennial of Contemporary Textile Art. Organized by the WTA (World Textile Art Organization) the Biennial is being held in May 2011 in various cities in Mexico, but submissions need to be in around the first of the year.
I have a few more detail photos I need to take of the cholla cacti that grows wild in the open desert just near my house to use for reference materials before I start construction. As specified by the WTA any piece submitted will be suspended from a ceiling and therefore should be designed to be viewed from all sides. It must measure between 1.5 and 3 meters in height and no more than 2 meters in diameter….certainly the largest piece I will have done thus far. I’ll post sketches soon.
