Latest Work
by Barbara Barrick McKie
Lately, I've been exploring the potential of disperse dyed polyester fabrics. In addition, I continue exploring surface design, particularly dye painting on silk, but also discharged cotton fabrics, silk shibori. I continue my work with still-life and floral themes as well as landscapes. Most recently, I've been doing a series of flowers with reflections in glass and experimenting with surface design combined with realistic imagery, and I continue to do more birds and animal pieces and have added free-motion embroidery to provide texture to my animal and bird images. I'm starting to do more abstract work as well, particularly marbling based surface design.
