Embracing Solitude
40” x 21”
Embracing Solitude is part of my series, “Transformations”. This series explores changes we experience with the passage of time. You can see more of them on my website, ReginaBDunn.com This artwork has a winter theme and is about the quiet times of our lives when we turn inwards to regroup and refresh ourselves. The winter theme is a metaphor for slowing down and becoming reflective. The falling leaves refer to letting go of issues and the twigs symbolize our bare self or our soul. The orbs refer to a sun or a moon moving across a sky, representing time passing.
The cotton broadcloth fabrics were dyed with Procyon mx dyes in different values of the same hue and overdyed to create a more complex texture. The leaf images were stamped on with fabric paints. The twigs and orbs (created from my photographs) were screened on with fabric paint. The artwork was fused to a felt backing and then hand stitch was added to create a gentle flow of shapes, line, and color.
Flat aluminum slats (removable) are attached to the back with velcro at the top and bottom. Wire is attached to the top slat so that it is ready to hang as a traditional tapestry.
(You could frame it if you choose to do so by removing the slats. I would recommend that you mount it on top of mat board to keep the edges exposed and preserve the look of a textile rather than cover the edges. And I would recommend to not cover it with glass or plexiglass to keep the look of tapestry. However, it could be framed in whatever style you choose.)
PRICE INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING AND SALES TAX. (Shipments via regular ground service, to addresses in the contiguous US)
Shop with confidence! I want every customer to be happy with their selection. Please see “About Shipping and Returns” information on this website’s contact page. Thanks!
