Texture and pattern

One of the things I love about the desert is the plants - there is so much to look at in terms of texture and pattern. The play of sunlight snd shadow makes everything look  sharp and defined.
I go for a walk and the camera gets a workout because I am stopping to look at all the different things I see along the way. I shott all these same things last year but I still need to look again.

Long walk detail

This is a detail from a vat dyed piece that is 2 feet x 8 feet long called Long Walk Two. It was done as a monoprint with indigo dye on black rayon using a rubber block as a drawing device. This shows about 8 inches of the entire length. I like the results I am getting from the the monoprinting - the areas where the dye gets thicker discharge in a great way to give you the zig zag edge.
