Two 8" x 10" projects were completed for a traveling exhibit. Fall Highlights (see fig. 1) is a fabric collage with falling leaves created with handmade stamps and acrylic paint.
Pareidolia (fig. 2) began as an abstract painting on fabric. In that painting, I saw owls and drew my drawing on paper placed on top of the painted fabric to capture the "eyes" I saw in the painting. The phenomenon of seeing faces in inanimate objects is referred to as pareidolia, thus the title (an example of pareidolia in a painting on fabric is shown below - fig. 3). I stitched on top of the paper, peeling it away after then painting over the original abstract painting to reveal the new design. The addition of dyed cheesecloth and thread trash complete the design.
