I was very pleased to have "Reading the Runes:Stones of Power" accepted into the Earthy Abstraction show in North Carolina.
A Juried Competition, March 27 – May 16, 2015
Arts Council Galleries at
301 Hay Street, Fayetteville, NC
Ellington-White Contemporary Gallery (EWCG) in partnership with the Arts Council Fayetteville/Cumberland County invited artists to submit entries to a juried competition entitled Earthy Abstraction. This exhibition features artists that work with or incorporate elements of natural materials such as soil, clay, wood, stone and other materials into their visual practice. The works have a direct connection in theme, texture, and materials with the natural world.
Arts Council Gallery Hours
Monday - Thursday: 9 am to 5pm

The natural materials in this piece include stones, driftwood, an acorn cap, natural indigo dye and rusty metal.
The stones rest on a complex cloth, which I first indigo dyed and rusted. I then did some image transfers and some painting. There are five stones which represent the following powers: Growth, Decay, Drift, Persistence and Ice.
That's wonderful. Congratulations on getting Stones of Power accepted! Your piece is very intriguing - modern and yet ancient. I'd love to see close up pictures of each of the stones. The acorn cap is so great.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I love that you picked up on the ancient/modern concept. Here's more details on the 'Growth' stone: http://mackin-art.blogspot.com/2012/04/growth-bead-journal-project-april-2012.html
