Color Field on Linen

Sometimes, I want to remember the work of certain artists and the work of Mark Barrow and Sarah Parke, is in that category.  It is so difficult to see from a newspaper or computer image but these images make me want to see these pieces in person.  Their work was written about (by Randy Kennedy)on the front page of the Arts section of the NY Times (not too shabby indeed).  

Barrow paints (acrylic) on linen hand woven by his wife/collaborator Parke.    Barrow and Parke came up with formulas to weave fabric with varying ratios of red, blue and green threads. He mixed red, blue and green paint in the same ratios as those of the fabrics, yielding shades of gray. Then he applied this paint, not all over but — in a technique that has defined his work — in tiny dots, as if pixelating the fabric, using the intersections of the thread in the weave as a grid.

I am always on the look out for work that is similar to mine.  I also use dots layered onto other dots but in a much more random method to create my color fields.
