I’ve talked with many of you about my new series of paintings, but I wanted to tell everybody how excited I am about these new pieces. Please click on any of the thumbnails above to see larger photos.
They’re 11″x14″ on wood panel, with silkscreen and enamel. I’d first started working on these maybe three years ago, silkscreening layer upon layer upon layer. I was never really happy with them, and then I screened an opaque cream layer over almost the entire surface – and then I really didn’t like them!
So, I put them in a stack in the back of a closet and pretty much forgot about them until I was doing some cleaning about two months ago. I found them and thought, well, at least I can re-use the wood panels… So I started to sand them down and found, to my great joy and surprise, that the sanding process brought out a beautiful combination of layers, colors, and patterns.
After sanding all five of them, I decided to do a single layer of silkscreen on top, in black – it’s the line drawing you’ll see with the text from a chant inside, “I am love and you are love, we are love, all is love.”
I was really happy with them and walked out of the studio thinking they were done. A few days later I was sitting a five day silent meditation retreat (yay!) and suddenly saw them with additional detailing in enamel which would bring a beautiful contrast between the creamy matte background and a more colorful and shiny foreground (setting up background/foreground contrast is easy when you work representationally, you can just do it with content – not so easy for us abstract folks).
So – I hope you like, they’re priced to move at only $150 each – send me an e-mail at sadiesketch@yahoo.com if you’re interested (I’m happy to tell you more about them or arrange to show them to you if you’re in NYC).
Thanks for reading and looking, Sadie
