Wow

I forgot about that. I think I did it in SF. It looks somewhere between the plastered underwear from Cranbrook and the Miss Utah becomes Miss America. I think that was 1984.

But yes I am thinking a bit along those lines, but less "cagey"

I like the idea that came out of the dream.
I was thinking that maybe it all could be a puzzle image , say at the top. and become a textile image, using the threads to connect. I'm working on drawings of the idea now and hope to get something posted. I don't think that we can have a profile image for the group blog. But we may somehow be able to add one to the sidebar or header.

I have been thinking about attaching the fabric and the puzzle(d) pieces. Maybe the ends of the cloth could be partially unraveled and put between pieces of the puzzle. I should find a puzzle and see if it could work. Then I think the integration of the parts would be better and interesting. With puzzle imagery and knit imagery all bound up into one.

I was thinking that the theme was hand face whatever the show title is. Sort of relates to things that we both think about.


How will the puzzle"feel" next to the cloth?

I've been thinking about what is collaboration and what does each artist bring to a collaboration. and what makes the final work the work of both artists?

Just what I've been thinking about.

On the technical front. The machine is sensitive to the humidity, not much knitting has been happening. I'd like to get some other images going. Not the faces I've been working with, Which do fit into the "theme" but I have already been working on getting them to be a "blanket of sorts,
Anyway looking for inspiration
