 ​acrylic/textile-- a series in progress

In this body of work I use textiles--maritime rope, yarn, wool, thread, twine--which I push through the canvas' surface, looping, stitching and painting as I form compositions with an overall gestalt. Using textiles gives a tactile immediacy to the painting surface which I love. I approach the textiles as both symbolic and compositional elements. Symbolic, as I exploit the resonances of  e.g. rope and thread—connectivity and bonds, the stringiness of the human body, an arc of longing/desire--while also examining the relation of inner and outer. Formally, as a lover of line, ropes and threads hang and loop as line and extension of line.  A sort of grammar emerges in the way I hang, loop, bind, stitch and tuft the textiles to the canvas itself, and to other textiles in the painting. The gaze is drawn to surface topographies where the textile elements densely interact and combine with the painted surface in an overall compositional gestalt. Using textiles expands the parameters of painterly composition, the 2-d painting surface, and makes the paintings more sculptural and kinetic.
