The creative process of this series evolved from my original hand painted silks, cut into (30+) strips. Each strip is an original image, design, icon or symbol. The use of strips reflect a heritage of textile making throughout African Diaspora.
These strips are stitched together forming a picture plain of dynamic energy. This energy does not allow the eyes or mind to focus. It is disturbing, entirely too much information at one time, overload. This energy is the planet Mercury.
The name of this series of (10) is title" Mercury Retrograde". Planet Mercury is the ruler of our mind, intelligence, memory and all types of communication. Retrograde is a pause in the movement of the planet causing a time period to reflect. The main mission of this series was to complete things unfinished.
Merging thirty plus strips stitched together forming a picture plain of dynamic energy. This energy did not allow the eyes or mind to focus. It was over stimulating the sense organ. This disturbance in the creative process was resolved. Textile fabric color markers and pens were layered on top of the original silk paintings as needed.The lines and the color medium enabled the creative process to blend. The picture plain has become a dynamic force of energy, movement, and sound stimulating the many senses.
