"Facade XXII" is part of my series focused on transparency, texture, shape and line. I have used loosely woven scrim, like cheesecloth, stitched to sheer silk organza, creating subtle color and value shifts as one color is placed to overlap another. By using a sheer foundation, the translucence of the entire piece creates a mesmerizing work of art. Light flows through it, and changes its appearance with changing light. Fascinating new shapes arise with the overlaid sheer fabrics, which I emphasize with hand stitching using thick thread.
