The Big Blue

 

 

 

Title: Big Blue

Media: Mixed fiber ropes mounted on three 36 x 48 inch canvas panels. (This picture taken before the ropes were mounted.}

Size: 38 x 144 inches overall

Date: 2022 (mounted in 2023)

 

Work in progress: Above left, the three 36 x 48" panels painted a glossy Copenhagen Blue. Above Center, the blue ropes laid out on the ground and ready to mount. Above Right, the ropes mounted.

 

 

The three panels photographed separately. Click on each for a larger view.

 

 

The full set, brought together in Photoshop because I don't have a space big enough to photograph it as a whole.

 

 

Picture showing the back side of the right panel. Each panel is labled to indicate its relative position and includes my name and the date the piece was finished.

Shortly after taking this picture I made a set of French cleats for each of the panels. I'm also wired the panels but French cleats provide a much more stable way to install the panels in their final location.

 

Below are pictures of the panels as installed at Allied Arts, in September of 2023.
