The Unknown

The Unknown was created for a group show entitled fabric-ations at Malone University's McFadden Gallery. It is created with two identical images I had photographed while on a walk at the Genessee Monastery in New York. The back layer is opaque and stitched with silver threads dangling down eerily, the front layer is a sheer image that is raised to add depth and allow movement. It is intended to create a sense of intrigue about what is to come and how we may "fabricate" our notions of the future.

This was on exhibit at Malone University's McFadden Gallery and in my two person show entitled Sheer Obscurity at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH. In addition, this piece was selected to be part of the juried Stark County Artists Exhibition at the Massillon Museum.  It was awarded Best in Show.

Alluring


Alluring is constructed from a shot I took at the Gethsemani Monastery in Kentucky. I manipulated it digitally and then added copper stitching to heighten the deep feel of mystery and clarity that one can experience when walking deep in a forest alone.
