Happy New Year

I couldn't resist, in more ways than one, doing some more dyeing over the break. So I have been working on these three pieces for the next Prism Exhibition.

The work above is the first piece, its quite small, its flour paste resist. I have capped a few areas, these show as white, then I dyed it with indigo followed by weld, this produced a green in some areas and yellow in others. I capped some of the these patches and then dyed it all again with tannic acid and ferrous sulphate. I have added some silk carrier rods to try to evoke the peeling nature of the stone. 

This one above on the right is flour paste resist again with some areas capped, its based on a green stone angel that had lichen growing on it.

The one on the left is the largest about 3 feet by 18 inches. Its based on the peeling marble angel at Kensal Green Cemetery.
Its a flour paste resist like the others.
I really seem to be addicted to flour paste resist, it gives such a textural finish.

Now I have got to think of a way of linking these pieces with the theme of the Exhibition, Evolve, Evoke, Expand. I'm thinking about saying in my artists statemment  how disintegration is part of the process of evolution. Things need to break down in order   to reform into something new and then to expand. Any ideas?
