| O-102 double_frame_circle_with_flowers by Cristy Bright mm 12x12 $160 |
The
mixed-media art I create is a process of experimentation, influenced by my
personal creative journey through
fiber arts, painting, calligraphy, ceramics, and flower arranging. I have no template or design-ideas beforehand
and simply start the process on a wood or cloth canvas by layering paint, paper
I create, paper from books and magazines, stamps, stencils, ink, and markers.
With no defined artistic endpoint in mind, I stop after about 3 to 8 layers
when I feel that the colors and textures are right, and I’ve created a pleasing
and interesting background.
Although
again experimental, the colors and textures in a background do influence the
design of the foreground artwork and appearance of the completed art piece. I
often join or weave together materials found in nature (dried flowers and pods,
sticks, moss, shells, and stones) with yarns, fabrics, or strings to create a
3-dimensional, nature-inspired image. My hope for every piece is that neither
the background or foreground overpowers, but compliments, to create a single
connected image with independent details that the eye continues to find fresh
and new with each look.
Allowing
the piece to unfold as I progress through each stage is both inspiring and
motivating. The process creates art that simply can’t be duplicated - each
piece is truly one of a kind.
