One of the only photos of this completed piece taken before it was whisked off the wall of the microbrewery on Montmartre.

 Of late, I’ve been absorbing a load of counseling regarding the importance of gratitude and a generally positive mindset. Apparently it works. Seeing and reading and appreciating the word ”Thanks” first thing is a helpful reminder to take stock of all that is good in the word at the moment.

This was my first go at incorporating embroidery (check out them threads !) in a work on palimpsest collage prepared canvas, adding yet a further layer of meaning to the randomized motif of lexical, musical and constructive cues.


Images below show the work in progress and finally in situ.
