Project : How about artists who make a deliberate creative choice to choose craft as their fine art? The next project is based on this choice.
If you want to see the woman artists of the craft projects find them here - https://www.pinterest.com/Pallavi_art_/the-woman-artists-project/
Now coming to the project -
- Choose a painting you dearly love preferably created by you
- Recreate the work in front of you using any craft medium ( embroidery thread was suggested in the book , but I took the liberty of using something that was available and - I enjoyed , so collage and threads it was:))
Once you have finished step back and have a look , does the medium change the meaning or narrative of the work fro you? Or is it a new arsenal in your pocket?
Here are the pictures of my work - all three the painting , the collage and the digital .
I must say for me the collage felt very real, something with character , I enjoyed making it and playing with the textures. If you try let me know what you liked.
