I’ve been busy in the kitchen and in the studio. In 2010, I won the Margaret Conant Grant from Potomac Fiber Arts Guild for my proposal, “Kitchen Resists: Surface Design Techniques Using Resists and Masks Made from Common Household Materials”. Recently, I’ve been having fun playing with a variety of flour paste resists. The photos here are before and after removing an uncooked wheat flour paste resist applied with carved linoleum and moldable foam blocks. I was very pleased that the resist held up so well, especially the details in the African face. I am finding out a lot about what each resist material can and cannot do. I hope to develop a vocabulary of techniques utilizing different resists that I can draw upon to use in creating future artwork.
