Quartique Series


I work with a smaller group (6 people) locally, called Quartique, on challenges and as with this group I have worked within a theme to create 'one' piece. The theme had to be stretched in some cases to fit in.  The one theme could not fit in and I had another idea so that was the 'recycle' which I showed earlier.  These are all whole cloths and I have used various surface techniques to get the effects.  They are not in the order of the challenges as they grew as I went along. The challenges were, starting from the left...... fractured(painted applique paper); re-modelling a traditional block = 9 patch; signs & symbols (scorpio); vertical & horizontal lines (used a thermofax on background with +); revolution.
The strips are approximately 6 x 24 inches.

  1. Very clever, Phil. Will you produce more pieces in this series? I am interested in colour transition these days, so I can appreciate what you have done with these lovely complementaries.

  2. Gorgeous! The circles tie in all the different methods. It gives the feeling of being a lot larger than 6" high.

  4. This series is done! Apologies, to clarify the sizing.....each strip is 24" long and just over 6" wide so it is approximately 33" wide
