Archeology Series #25, Time Painting

Linen, thread, paint Hand guided, machine, free motion embroidered. Look for the words stitched throughout the piece, "running time", "continuous time", "time, running". My Archeology Series is crusted with paint and layered with gold leaf creating a hard surface. But, this piece, like time, did not want to be constrained by too much paint or made to be stiff, trimmed, finished, bound or framed. It is raw and feels a bit innocent. I love the softness of the edges and the raw texture of the linen. “Viewing my work, I want you to feel you are listening to an ancient conversation, that others are reaching through time to speak to you.” ~ Kevan Lunney Lunney’s inspiration comes from a radio program reporting on a discovery of discarded papyrus documents from an ancient Egyptian rubbish mound. Imagining someone examining our garbage two millennia from now caused her to reflect upon what we have discarded, and what we might choose to leave behind in the future. What has lasting value? Lunney’s conclusion is shared wisdom, nature’s elements, and time. Her work includes rows of stitches to represent ancient words of wisdom. Metal leaf symbolizes the value of natural elements. Incorporating circles onto distressed linen conveys never–ending time and life cycles. Lunney’s creations convey a hopeful message that time’s continuous presence provides endless opportunities for regeneration, if we will hearken to the wisdom waiting for us from the past.
