Work in progress: Bone Clock (working title). Beeswax: I’m thinking about how this material is of all three categories I’ve been massaging/messaging—animal, plant, and made by humans. (See Pseudomorphs and Celestial Bodies.) The bees make the wax from glands in their bodies; the yellow coloring comes from pollen; and it is cultivated, gathered, and purified by humans. It smells amazing.
I won’t be in the studio tomorrow (Friday 1/15) but I’ll be open later on Saturday (1/16), open 10:00am till 4:00pm.
Until they are all sold, 20% of the profits from the sale of my new “Peace Dove” shawl will be donated to the International Rescue Committee.
The peace shawl dove image is a digital collage from Asian handmade papers. It is digitally printed on fabric in North Carolina in a fiber reactive process. The fabric is a lightweight sheer 70% cotton/30% silk voile. The edges are finished in a rolled serger hem. It is about 36in x 90in. You can wear it as a shawl or as a scarf because the fabric is thin enough to bunch up into a fluffy scarf. It costs $145 plus shipping charges. Payment: you can come to Black Lab and pay me, or I can send you a Paypal invoice so you can purchase online.
