Gallery quality Giclée fine art print of Original Fibre Art "Peripheral Vision in Gold", printed on fine art paper.
When I created the Peripheral Vision series, I was thinking about how much easier it is to push the big issues out of our mind rather than focus on them. The series depicts representational landscapes with elements which allude to the resources that they hold - a big issue that interests me particularly. I often think about the items that I use every day and the resources that were used to make them - right down to the minerals that were taken from the ground. These works issue a challenge - do we acquire items with longevity and specific need in mind or are we spontaneous in our choices, motivated by convenience and instant gratification.
The process used to create these Fibre Art Prints is not unlike that used to paint a conventional picture. Layers of colour are applied and then details carefully added. The difference being that my "paints" are wool and silk fibres and my hands are the brushes. Artworks are then captured and reproduced using the highest quality printing techniques and materials.
The depth of colour and dimension in these unique artworks makes them truly eye catching. The sheen of the silk fibres lends a truly three dimensional quality to each piece. The capture of this particular type of fibre art is unique to Caroline Burton, Fibre Artist.
