Description
4 x 54 inches Handpainting, monoprinting, Itajime, screenprinting, drawing, stitching; cotton, dyes, India ink, polymer medium, eyelets. May be displayed coiled on a flat surface, or hung vertically. 2021 I use only my own handpainted, monoprinted fabrics in my work. I love the drag of a brush on fabric. A large-scale, exuberant canvas is thrilling. My recent works often add ink drawing to the mix. I juxtapose active forms with quiet, inward ones, motion with stillness. In music, the silence be- tween notes is just as important as the notes themselves. Recently, I have paired my Tarps and Scrolls with natural phenomena, using photography in short-term installations. To me, successful art works in any medium are a balance of complex forms. Although visually abstract, my work is profoundly influenced by the natural world. In daily life, I practice active listening and observation. So, while my work does not tell stories, it is a reflection of deeply immersive observations and preverbal experience. I am committed to sustainability and social justice issues as well as mentoring and giving back. When pos- sible, I create work that has a dual purpose as both wall and functional art. www.astridhilgerbennett @astridhbennett
