12” x 12” x 1-1/2”

Original mixed media paintings with acrylic, cloth, paper, and threads on canvas.

Connected Threads began with a cloth piece I had prepared for another painting. When I realized it would fit within this 12” x 12” canvas, I decided to play with it and give it a home of its own. And, like the painting it was originally created for, the concept of this painting is the threads that connect all of us to one another. Each of the cutouts in the cloth are connected with threads to their adjacent openings.

Here are my written words that appear above the cloth: “We are like the drops of water that form the sea. We all come together to form the whole. Each connected to the others in an unseen and mostly unimaginable oneness. Yet, no one drop is independent of the totality of the collective energies.”
