So, the work came down at Gallery 360 and I picked it up this week. But you can still see a few pieces there.
“coffee break”
detail of “tree, house”
Once again, Jeremy predicted which piece would sell (“on the grid”–the powerlines one). At some point I will have to harness his ability to know what folks want to buy!
Next on my to-do list: deciding on a new project.

I’m part of the opening tomorrow night (Saturday) at Gallery 360. Will a lot of people attend? I sure hope so.
I have work in a five foot section in the very front of the gallery, featuring four new stitched images. I’m excited, and nervous, to see what kind of reaction they evoke. It’s quite a different beast to view work through the filter of a screen (like reading this blog) versus seeing the actual work in person, and so far not many people have seen them in person. I feel confident in what I’ve created, but I always want the theoretical viewer to “get” what I’ve done.
Anyway, I am hoping for the best! And by the best, I mean “to sell everything and have it be totally affirmed that I am on the right track.” But I will also be satisfied with a fun and well attended opening. Please come!

detail of “power lines,” machine stitching on painted silk and cotton.
This summer I’ve been working on thread sketches that focus on my urban surroundings. I see these power lines every day on my way downtown. They crisscross the alleys and empty lot near Nicollet and 18th.

Thread sketches like this are nearly as interesting from the back.

This is the last of three new works I just sent to Gallery 16 in Montana. It feels good to have them out in the world, plus it seems like they fit well with the change of seasons.
commercial cotton batiks, rust-dyed cotton, thread; machine-stitching
20″ W by 16″ H
$295
available at Gallery 16, Great Falls MT
I really wish I could come up with a better name for this piece. It’s going by the name “(untitled)”. Any suggestions?

Anyone going to Art Squared, the Stevens Square neighborhood fundraiser on Saturday? Here’s my donation:
I call it “prairie church”, a thread sketch measuring a little over 5″ by 5″. Made from cotton fabric and thread with freehand machine stitching, it’s wrapped around a wooden frame and ready to hang.
There will be lots of great art at reasonable prices! And the way cool poster was designed by my friend Abby. Check it out here at her blog and read all the event details.
