Grey Day.




I am continuing working on my theme of Change, Transform, Disintegrate using images from the rabbit’s skeleton. This piece uses bandage, a piece of grey commercial felt,tea dyed muslin, with merino tops and other bits and pieces.

Here is a page from my sketchbook.

It is a very grey and miserable day here in Hampshire UK with little to cheer up the gloom except the green shoots in the almost flooded field opposite.

I had fun finding various ways to fill the squares.

  1. This is a wonderful piece... - enjoy the grey as long as it lasts - 30 degrees in April is no fun either (at least for a grey person like me...;)
