Embroidered Collage

  I am amazed at the level of fine complexity in Kristin Hodge's work.  That picture to the left is all contained in the small space of an ACEO!  It's a very thin layer of acrylic paint done by a technique she has perfected over the years.

Her works remind me of how much I love non-objective abstracts - ones that don't claim to represent any part of reality.  Yet they have a pattern to them, partially formed by the nature of her technique and partly by her choices in color application.  Using subtle, natural pattern is something I'd like to be able to do in my own art.

Her larger works, including canvases often more than two feet across, can be seen at her website http://www.kristanhodge.com and her smaller works, including more aceos in various color schemes, can be purchased at http://khcolor.etsy.com .
