TEXTILE EXPERIMENT

The naked lady (part 3)..

 

After taking pictures of “the naked lady”, I wanted to explore more about this flower. I noticed that the bottom of the stem was red. I was curious to see if the color of the stem would stain/come off, so I pressed the bottom against a piece of fabric (jersey). 

The stem gave only a little bit off and I was pretty disappointed and out of frustration I pulled the leaves from the flower(naked). 

I wrapped the leaves and stem together into the fabric.

After 15 minutes I saw red spots all through the fabric. I was so exited and could not wait for the fabric to dry up. The result was beyond my expectation. What I find particularly interesting is the color nuance (shades) and the darklines that runs through the fabric.

INTO THE LIGHT

                                                            

                       

                                                                  

                                                

                       

                       

                       

The title of this post " Into the light" displays the images above. I was ill-at-ease and decided to get started with acrylic paint, to put my feelings on paper. 

I came to some interesting images, so I made a selection by linking the images together. By coincidence, I discovered that the color and structure emerges when you hold it against the light. The structure is reminiscent of veins, arteries throughout our body..

A POEM

Insecurity roots deep inside you

 So deep you often won’t even notice it 

Untill you ask yourself the question “why?”

Why do I make choices, and regret afterwards?

Why am I afraid, afraid to take changes

Without first doubthing myself and say, 

But what if?

Insecurity arises from fear

Fear to be, be who I am and what I believe in

Fear of what others will think of me…

But ultimately it’s all about letting go..

Processing your past through all your emotions 

and give it a place by 

Acceptance..

The naked lady (part 2)..

Pictures created by Joyce Sitaram

In the first part of "the naked lady" I showed you pictures of the Amaryllis, a beautiful flower with the intens color red. I was inspired by this flower because of the shape, color and the structure. It's very interesting to see how the amaryllis transforms. I started to study it, by making pictures and really zoomed into the flower. 

For the second part I zoomed in on the bottom of the steel. When you look at the pictures above you can't recognize the amaryllis anymore, I created a whole new abstract world. The last picture almost looks like a paithing..
