Second: Yhonnie Scarce, Weak in Colour But Strong In Blood (2013–14)

Billowing Burgundy.





After an extremely long hiatus away from this blog, I finally took images of the finished curvy blob dress (which I finished last year after lots of sewing and ‘un-sewing’).

I was actually not in a massive forest but in a pretty little local park, mingling with spiders and other such creatures. I had to fight with mosquitos but did end up with a few adequate photos.

Cherry Blossomed



After a non-break from architecture, the cherry blossom paintings are finally finished! Loosely based on a photograph by Matthew Tammaro, this pair of long decorative panels presents a reinterpretation of the rigid detailing seen in traditional Japanese woodblock prints and mixes it with the freedom characteristic of Impressionist brushwork.

On another note, because of the generally large workload I have to endure, I decided that I will just post when I can (which will most likely be seldom posts here and there). Other than that, I hope you enjoy the subsequent projects and artworks that do appear!
