“Framework first, pt 1.”
Watercolor, ink & thread
On paper
11” x 14”
 
Lay the foundation, build a framework, then add elements that bring it to life.
 
Whether literal or symbolic, this process has been on my mind lately.
I created these pieces with the grid first, then the hatch mark pattern sections - typically my last step - and finally, embellished with embroidery.
 
 
Painted on smooth hot press paper.
Unframed.
