Contaminated Water Series
This is a new series of textile art started in 2010 exploring the subject of contaminated water. Textile artist Jean M. Judd is continuing the development of this series over the next few years and it will be available for gallery exhibitions as a whole. Throughout the series, I am using my own hand dyed fabrics mostly in whole cloth format. Some of the pieces will also incorporate rust pigment applications which is also referred to as rust dyeing. There are currently five more pieces in the construction process and as they are completed they will be added here. Each piece is designed to be easily hung in either a vertical or horizontal orientation.
First art quilt in the new series Contaminated Water. Note the partial image of a dead floating fish in the top center edge of the artwork. The concentrated circles hand stitched into the artwork, are the swirls made from tossing rocks into the water.
The images of the piece are reflective of the gasoline and oil slicks that can be seen in many waterways where boats are docked. Detail Image Vertical Orientation Purchase
Contaminated Water #1 - (c) 2010 20"x 42.25" (51 x 107cm) - $3,300
This is the second piece in this new series. My hand dyed fabric has had rust pigmentation applied. The piece is heavily hand stitched in a circular format similar to the first piece in this series. It has an irregular finish on the bottom edge as shown in the image. Detail Image Back Image Vertical Orientation Purchase
Contaminated Water #2 (Pond Scum) - (c) 2010 15"x 42" (38 x 107cm) - $3,200
This is the next piece in the Contaminated Water series. This hand dyed artwork also has rust pigmentation applied to it prior to the dense hand stitching done in both a circular design as well a triangular design between the spirals. This piece also has an irregular edge finish on the bottom and is designed to be displayed in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
Contaminated Water #3 (Sludge) - (c) 2010 15"x 42" (38 x 107cm) - $3,700
To see an image of Contaminated Water #3 in a vertical orientation, please click the link. For a detail image of the physical texture created by the intricate hand stitching, you may open this detail link and this link as well. A visual of the back of the artwork showing the incorporated hanging tabs, can be seen here. Purchase
Contaminated Water #6: Suspended Particles continues with the whole cloth tradition that is hand dyed and then rust pigmentation has been added. Detail images show the stitching and rust pigmentation more clearly in a closeup format.
Intricate and dense hand stitching of a circular design is also brought over from the previous pieces of this series. These interconnecting elements make these pieces work very well together for large installation possibilities.
The piece is designed to be hung in any orientation easily and invisibly with a wood slat and two nails. The image of the back of the artwork shows the hanging system used to accomplish this easily.
