Julia #3

Liz, 3

My third piece arrived with Amanda's sun and clouds and Julia's rain. It was clean, graphic, and horizontal. I tried to stay in keeping with this idea by adding a drawing of row houses.

Here is my inspiration:


Some preliminary drawings I worked on:


The finished piece:

Going backwards... Liz's 2nd piece

I had been nervous about how I was going to approach working on someone else's piece, but when I received Julia's original I was really at a loss. It was so pristine and perfect, the thought of throwing off this delicate balance she created kind of freaked me out. After much deliberation, I finally decided I would add texture but not much else. In keeping with my neighborhood idea (and actually sticking with the church), I used the holes Julia made as a grid for sewing in a mini--minimalist-church. This is what came out of it:



Also, wanted to share what the church actually looks like:

Going backwards... Liz's 1st piece

I know the more recent iterations of my piece #1 have been posted, but I thought for record-keeping purposes, I should show it. It's an ink drawing based on an actual creepy looking church in my neighborhood (plus a stormy gouache-wash) My idea going into this project was to contribute my view of where I live (Greenpoint, Brooklyn). I only moved here fall of last year, but I was/am so charmed by its architecture and cinematic quality. I thought it made sense to present something local and unique to a project relating to geography and point of view.

Lily's #3

this piece had many layers of paper glued together. with the rolling and unrolling it was having some issues so i sewed the layers together on the sewing machine.

OMG what. What? This is crazy. I was the white paint-- mostly just the white ground and the tree-forms. Oh, and I did some collaged paper on the ground too.
