Day 28 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Spiralocity

The spiral is a common shape found in nature and an ancient symbol in many cultures. It can have several meanings such as growth and evolution or it can represent a person coming back to the same point in one's life, but with new and enhanced understandings.  The symbol of the spiral can encourage a viewer to become more flexible and have trust when things change.

Enjoy the journey.

More Inspiration from Kieran Foley

'Painting' with Fiber 

Once again Dublin fiber artist Kieran Foley demonstrates the beauty of fiber as 'paint'. The fibers he is using are plant dyed yarns including such colors as indigo, madder and weld (from Wild Mignonette - a  fragrant, mostly yellow, largely Victorian-era herbaceous plant).

Just as one might use paint on canvas, he employs his form of 'paint'/fibers to create intricate and rich designs that result in gorgeous pieces of wearable art. 

The progression of photos here present his palette and the evolution of his complex design using those colors.  

Once again, he inspires me in the continuation of the creative process.
