Eyes Wide Open



I am feeling excited that I've signed up for two workshops with Sue Benner in the fall. I've been wanting to explore further with abstraction, so 'Driven To Abstraction' sounds like a good fit. The other workshop spans one day and is called 'Fusing The Grid' - working in a series based on the grid. I mainly just want to spend time exploring Sue's world - to take home whatever information I glean and apply it to making my work better. You can see some of her work here: http://www.jsauergallery.com/sagemoon/artistPages/sben_lg.html The stitching on the above quilt is getting done little by little and her eyes look quite different with floss added - maybe she has stars in her eyes, imagining the upcoming workshop with Sue!
