Figures in Motion
Batik (Soy Wax, Fiber Reactive Dyes, 100% Cotton)
Series of 13 - 30''h x 24''w each
Summer 2011
The Figures in Motion series illustrates the rhythm of the ribbon and the figures as a lifeline. A pulse. A life. A heartbeat that rises and falls within us, that connects, intertwines, and falls away. Beginning at birth and ending with the last figure in the series reaching to start the cycle again. The series of 13 individual pieces creates a continuous loop when displayed in sequence.

Created through successive layers of molten wax and dyes on fabric, this series combines fine art themes with an ancient handcraft and uses a combination of traditional and modern batik techniques.

I consider batik to be a symbolic process. Each piece is created through layers, reminiscent to how people are created through impressions and experiences, and when you melt away all the wax you are left with every drip, spill, crackle and color. Every element becomes a part of the piece, like scars, like memories. There is no erasing. I have always been intrigued by batik, not only as a medium, but as a dear friend in which I can communicate with while creating my own aesthetic voice. For me, it is the perfect combination of control and spontaneity.

This series is a result of my continuing study and interest in the figure as a subject for my fiber art. The poses in this series were inspired by an artists' visual reference book of photography by Thomas Easley.
