I am excited to get going on the 3 textile fusion (aka: fabric collage) art pieces I must finish by Nov 22. I am re-creating for the St Joseph Oakland Mercy Hospital 3 pieces I had originally completed in smaller sizes. The new ones must be 20" x 30" and the reason I am so excited is that I have the chance to improve them. The first one I am working on was completed , I think, in 2009. I believe I have grown as an artist in the last 4 years and hope that these pieces will reflect that.
Here is the original.

The original holds a certain charm for me even though I may think the second one has more detail or is more technically proficient. Maybe it's like a favorite song that has been re-done. I often don't like the re-makes as well even though they are more advanced in recording or instrumentation. Who can explain why that is ? It just is. I guess we must conclude that they are just different - the one not necessarily better or worse than the other. Products of a different time.
More updates soon !
