This piece is the first of a new series called STITCHED. Drawing from my past very popular series of work called Deconstructed where I lay down the foundation for the composition using tailoring patterns. My background originally is in the NYC fashion industry and I enjoy re-exploring the shapes and the juxtaposition. I have combined this with the ink transfer techniques and manipulation of pop art and other images digitally and apply them to create a secondary strong composition overlapping the drawings of the tailoring patterns. The ground has texture and paint and mark-makings common in tailoring but also reminiscent to nautical maps and a journey. I like the thought of it containing all these interesting elements including words, phrases, lyrics, sonnets as if it was a roadmap for a fantastic journey, never getting old and always discovering something new. The surface is very interesting, here I have done a self-leveling medium pour which sealed the surface and almost made the work under it seem three-dimensional. After that I used cold wax and buffed it so the final product almost has an encaustic-like feel and is really unique and interesting. It is also UV resistant and perfectly sealed (It is not a waxy feeling finish however, it is completely hard and dried). The sides contain the words from a Shakespeare sonnet painted in white acrylic over black. It is ready to hang with wire and D-rings on the back
