A detail showing some of the final tweakings.While working with this final stage I adjusted the whole piece on my display board so that I could work on a specific area. In doing so I quickly pinned the piece up without bothering to hang it straight, or flat. At some point I turned to look at it and viewed it as if for the first time. The piece looked relaxed, the irregularies in its hanging seem to lift it into another dimension. I liked it! So at this point in time I will leave off any mounting and hemming etc and revisit it again at a later date to see how I feel about this presentation. In the meantime, here it is. Obviously I can't crop the piece so some background is unavoidable.

Oh wow....I love it Diana!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, do you leave it hanging for a while or take it down and rehang it to revisit later?
I'm just amazed at your thought processes through out this Diana, sometimes I like where your going, sometimes not, but the finished pieces are so great. Congratulations on another well done piece of art
ReplyDeleteWow! What a dynamite piece of work. I can see why you have carved out some quiet time afterwords. I, too, am out of the studio for a few days contemplating various things. I find it most productive though maybe not visibly so. I feel so lucky to have the time to do this.
