Storming Gulls

After a bit of a blogging hiatus, here is my latest work 'Storming Gulls'.

This artwork was inspired by bird movement and feeding over the ocean and the prismatic light before a storm at sea. The dramatic lines of the background give direction to the 'random' composition of frenzied gulls.

This piece uses various 'shot' silks in different directions to depict birds in flight. The background was created using sprayed sun colour dyes and resists. Foreground gulls and receding images are depicted through stitched silhouettes.
