At the beginning of June 2009, I started exploring a dotted batik fabric. The gentle curve of the rows of dots suggested motion. I began cutting different rectangular and circular shapes and creating compositions to examine the interaction of the different colors. The paths of the dots were arranged to interact with the other shapes. I'm using beads to accent the rows of dots and carry the movement across some of the circles.
Although working on small pieces (most of these are between 6x9" and 9x12") is very effective for trying different approaches, and getting the work finished, it also makes it easier to create more variations. If you're not careful you can end up with a lot of pieces and it will take a lot of time to finish up and move on to another series.
