Tutorial with Gary

Gary and I had a very interesting conversation regarding future possible processes. He suggested that stick on paper, or find ways of sticking on thinner metals.

Cross sticking was also mentioned, to use in cases of toning. I could possibly drill through metal and pass wool through as a way of combining both techniques.

The use of soluble fabric with sticking could also help with layering of fabric.

Gary mentioned that I could apply a Cy Twombly way of sticking on my canvases, adding a layer of abstraction, which I found extremely interesting and inspiring.

Below is an image of a portrait that I made a few years ago, I am finding myself trying to re-appropriate this way of drawing to my paintings, adding a layer by way of stitching.
