found at sea



click on the picture to go and see work by Imbi Davidson
entitled
'lost at sea'

beautiful paintings on found mailbags

and while you're there have a look at this


blanket dyed with fencing wire and Allosyncarpia

another one of those instances
where amazing people
wander through one's orbit
in the guise of students
but really
sometimes
i think
it should be the other way
around

    Today I spent a few more hours looking at different art blogs and there is a considerable amount of interesting artwork to be seen.

    Especially in the originality of how materials are being applied and your finding of Imbi Davidson's work is a prime example of what I mean. Who would have thought to reuse mailbags as a surface and now I am wondering what I did with mine from the post office.

    The more I view all these wonderful blogs, I feel we finally have entered a new form of expressing our artistic vision.

    Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week.

    I've just spent a week felting in Grafton, and admired some saffron colored wool that a classmate dyed with onion skins.. so beautiful.

    India,
    Is it my imagination or did you change the background color of your website from brown to black?

    And sorry you can't communicate with me except via this format as I don't have a blog yet. I always want to start one, then end up browsing everyone else's like "The Artist Within" above.

    I am intrigued by Imbi's work. I do rust dyeing myself.

    Imbi, i'll be lurking in the bushes by the post office waiting for that mailbag
    and
    yes Darcy, it was black, then brown for a while
    now back to black
