A group of internet artists from all over the place who have decided to give each other a challenge every few weeks, on a theme chosen by each in turn. We have different ideas and styles, but share a love of textiles, and want to have some fun.

time challenge started!

i have started on the new challenge theme: time....
and for once i have an idea that i'm going to stick with, AND i have started - bonus points and elephant stamp please.
 in conversation with Kind Dog on the subject,  i was struck by an idea that is about process rather than form or about trying to capture a feeling or abstract idea. this one is extremely practical.
so far i have machine sewn strips of old cloth - fragments of old linens and clothing (cottons, silks, linens) onto a base ripped from an old cotton sheet. and i am hand stitching now with the most delicious thread that arrived this week from nancy at long ridge farm.

Fascinating..trying to capture an abstract idea or feeling, and freeing yourself up from concentrating on the form. I am intrigued. It reminds me of an interview today with an American poet on the radio who talked about a branch of poetry which is not concerned with the sound or meaning of the poem, but of how the words look on the paper as a way of conveying an idea (or emotion). Lots to get the head around!
