Artist Installation: Come Darkness







"Come Darkness" is a homage to Winter light and the changing of the seasons. There is a wonderful flow from one piece to the next; the colors, the light and dark.

An instillation of art curated and installed by Maria Alexander Vettese at Chelliswilson. Chelliswilson is a clothing and art boutique in Portland, MA. Go to the Chelliswilson site to see the instillation large and without borders that are on my blog.

The attraction? I expect you are talking about the linen: the colors and variations, the textures, the tape that ties up one piece. The colors are probably the natural state of the linen, colors varying with where and how the flax was grown, and the weaving affects the color too. Or maybe the colors remind me of the different colors we could get with walnut and sumac. Before i read your question to me, i was already lost in the linen! and wanting to make something in the 18th century vein. What a beautiful find! Thank you
