#250 Loose Threads
Click for larger image.
With this one all the recent abstract ones come together revealing something that wanted to be there – threads – I feel like right now I am at a stage of weaving.
Maybe I should weave flax – there may be truth in jest. I have been collecting flax and pressing flax so that I can add collage to prints.
There is the word: collage.
There will collages coming up.

What the thread theme means for me is tied in with the recapitulation idea… there was a war in Australia between the figurative Antipodeans and the Sydney 9
In 1961 a group called the “Sydney 9” had an exhibition of paintings to support abstract art, to counter the Antipodeans group, with members arriving with abstract paintings by helicopter.
I mention this as I just can’t take sides in that conflict, though my tendency is towards the Antipodean, I feel like I can weave these old threads into something new.
One day there might be something I feel strongly enough about to fly a helicopter for.
