Viscous fluid

I love the way viscous fluids disperse when placed into a non-viscous fluid.  The patterns that form are the result of the inexorable passage from dispersed fluid to perfect fluid spheres.






Variegated threads delineate the various stages of the viscous flow.

Welcome to Silk and Colour

Welcome to Silk and Colour.  On this blog I will be posting news about my hand embroidered artworks and the things that inspire me.  My first solo show is scheduled for later this year.  In the intervening weeks I will be posting images of my work.

The title of my show is Continuum.  The show will feature 2 series of works:  the Crop Circle series (9 works) and the Flow Series (21 works).

Part of the Flow Series, this work is based on a scientific experiment that recreated a type of flow pattern known as a Von Karman Vortex.  The ground fabric is silk habotai overlaid with hand dyed silk 
organza .

Thousands of random seed stitches and longer random stitches give texture and depth to the background.
