| REMAINS OF THE DAY © 2003 PATRICIA GOULD My visit to Deception Island, once an important whaling station, left me with haunting images of a bygone era. These, and other piles of whalebones are scattered around the lava beach. The remains of the casks, which held the whale oil and the boilers, are slowly being reclaimed by the elements. Once I enlarged the image to it’s present size, and then created the scene in fabric, it looked more like a mountain landscape than a small patch of beach with the remains of the whale. I knew when I shot the photo that I was drawn to the abstract design of the bones, but I didn’t know what final image would emerge in the finished work. 24” X 34” EXHIBITIONS TEXTile Messaging, NM Art Quilters, February 2008, The Branigan Cultural Center, Las Cruces NM Fiber Celebration 2005, Longmont Museum, May – July 2005, Longmont CO Summer Art 2004, Eleanore Bliss Center for the Arts, July – September 2004, Steamboat Springs CO - Honorable Mention Dimensions 2004, Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, April – May 2004, Winston-Salem NC $1400 |
