In response to the theme “Isolation” I started with a favorite photo by Jay Ressler of an abandoned playhouse built by his uncle for his granddaughter when she was a child. I played with the color and had it printed on fabric. But then cheerful colors called to me, and I added some improvisational piecing. There have been many positives for me about staying home and those feelings found their way into the piece.

「孤立」というテーマに応えて、私はジェイ・レスラーが子供の頃に孫娘のために叔父が建てた廃墟のプレイハウスのお気に入りの写真から始めました。色で遊んで、布にプリントしてもらいました。しかし、それから陽気な色が私に呼ばれ、私はいくつかの即興の継ぎ合わせを追加しました。家にいることについては多くのポジティブな点があり、それらの感情が作品に浸透しました。
Martha this turned out fantastic! I love the hand-tinted color look of the photographs. Combined with the happy colors and shapes in the border make it a lovely piece to explore.
The hauntingly beautiful photos in combination with your colourful improv borders just work so well together. A lovely piece!
