FLOTSAM AND JETSAM
Inspiration
I have been inspired by the mixed media work of artist Jeremy Gardiner who sometimes paints abstract landscapes on wood. As I live near the tidal River Hamble I often see washed up fragments of wood. I wonder did they come from an old wreck or were they washed off an ocean going ship? I like the mystery of not knowing and let the shapes and colours inspire my work.
Materials and techniques
White cotton fabric painted with acrylic paints, fabric medium and silk paints. Machine quilted with some hand appliqué.
