Moon and Stars: Creative Reflection

A mural I walk by every day when I’m at work. I’ve been obsessed with the moon and star motif, it is so intrinsic in human nature that some of the first visual art we have in the western cannon are stars being depicted in an Egyptian tomb. Somehow it’s comforting to see this same idea transmuted by someone else at some point. For me it demonstrates that we are more connected than we would often think; tethered to our ancestors, those who occupy our same space-time, our progeny present and yet to come.

Here’s a quick acrylic paint sketch/painting I was working on a little while back. I’ve since finished it and made other manifestations of art that are inline with the same imagery.

Stitch/Weave on Canvas.

This was my stitch on canvas that I made using embroidery threads. I have approximately 20-30 different coloured embroidery threads all different shades. I opted to use more or less every colour, I was aiming for vibrancy and contrast. I feel working with colours enables me to enjoy the process more. If I was working solely with monochromatic colours, I would become bored. It wouldn’t catch my eye like the above does. I took photos every so often to show how the canvas progressed with each new hue added. The stitching looks like weaving, when the threads interlace and overlap each neighbouring thread. This adds dimension.

I worked on a canvas that had been stretched over a wooden frame and in turn, made it not possible for me to reach the ends of the canvas because I was unable to stitch through each side. I stitched around the wooden base instead looping the thread around to create almost a haphazard border.
