Adding to my post below titled Embroidermation: test 1, my co-lunatic?Theo Gray shares?an animation of the Chinese Postman traveling every path, instructing the machine how to stitch the design: And here is a screen shot of what he did in?Mathematica to get there: Continue reading Embroidermation Addendum You may have heard I’m working on this movie, and I am, but my contract prohibits me from blogging about work-in-progress. All the more reason to blog about my super-exciting other project that no one is paying me for and is motivated purely by madness and my crazy Muse: I want to make an animated quilt. Or rather quilted animation. Or embroidered animation, because the most common quilt plotters are actually embroidery machines. I’ve already ranted about the shameful state of embroidery machine software. Having just bought a fancy new Brother machine that came with Brother’s “top-of-the-line” software, PE Design NEXT, I can now say the situation is worse than I thought. Continue reading Embroidermation: test 1 That’s me! Getting some local press for my art quilt show, which opens Saturday at Sleepy Creek Vineyards! Details and directions here.
Continue reading “The artist sounds serious but sometimes it’s hard to tell when she’s joking.” We went back to Sleepy Creek Vineyards to rearrange some things and hang Earth, Fire and Water next to Air/Nude. This is the first time all of my 4 Elements quilts have hung next to each other. Speaking of?Sleepy Creek, I finally tasted their tomato-jalepe?o wine, Winey Mary. Yes I thought it was a joke too, but it actually exists and is actually made of fermented tomatoes and jalepe?os, not grapes. And I actually liked it. Not as a wine – I don’t really like wine, or beer, or any alcoholic beverages – but as an unusual and strangely tasty sensory experience. You can try some at?the official wine-and-cheese opening (cash bar, buy Continue reading More Well-Hung
Today we hung quilts at Sleepy Creek Vineyards. Official wine-and-cheese opening (cash bar, buy some local wine!) is this Saturday June 15. The quilts will be hanging all Summer though.
The small “This Land Is Mine” quilt is double-sided. Here Death watches over the bottom of the stairs. Symbolic?
Bargain (Ten Thousand Dollars) and Nude, along with a larger This Land Is Mine quilt (one-sided)
Shiva Natraj and the Shedus More at the show – come check it out! Continue reading Hangin’ at Sleepy Creek Your machines are amazing. There is so much I could do with one! I could render a vector-based animated movie, convert each frame into a simple embroidery file, and sew out a frame at a time as a quilt. It would be amazing. I want to do that so much! And your domestic embroidery machines could do it. They are reasonably priced – a few thousand dollars is quite reasonable for a machine that can do that, and many are priced even lower. Such potential! The artist in me is drooling. But the software. For some reason you sell software for insanely high prices. All I need is software that converts common Continue reading Dear Domestic Embroidery Machine Manufacturers Bargain (Ten Thousand Dollars)
“Why are works by Marlene Dumas worth millions and those by the stylistically similar Chuck Connelly worth next to nothing? Because surplus capital in the hands of a small group of moneyed types decrees it so, by fiat. Disparities between surplus capital and “normal” market behavior…create two distinct “markets.” The high-end market just described is the seeking of surplus capital for true value, which lands on a work of art, because that work of art is perceived as unique, often in a highly arbitrary manner that disregards questions of esthetics and connoisseurship.
