Marbled Sploosh Series

These pieces were made for theThere's Best Dressed Signs show at Jameson & Thompson Gallery, Jamaica Plain, MA in May, 2024. They are inspired by a Best Dressed Signs mural technique that we call “splooshing” where we saturate the surface with many colors and then cut into the “splooshed” area with black paint to define shapes (see #splooshmural for examples) .The “splooshed” area in these pieces was made by marbling paper and the painted black designs are taken from Armenian architectural ornaments and rug design. Oil based enamel and hand marbled paper on wood.
