Timelines


Seconds, minutes, days, hours, years, centuries, eons
heartbeat
seasons
lifetimes
creation
extinction

these events never end, in our lives they can go by smoothly, or every moment can stretch out to infinity.

27x27", silk dupioni, string, and a lot of stitching.

  1. Oh Betty, I LOVE it! The stitching creates the illusion of distortion - a mind-bending effect! Did you paint the silk?

  3. Yes, Lisa-Marie, I took a glorious piece of dupioni & painted around the outside.
    The string I dyed too, it's just kitchen string.

  4. I get a distinct sci-fi "Dr. Who" feeling when I look at this. Like an image using 3D digital mapping or some virtual reality environment. Very cool.

  5. You have an amazing gift for making 2D look 3D, Betty! Time events should be 3D not just a line. A very cool piece depicting the passage of time - sometimes compressed, sometimes stretching on and on.....

  6. Lisa-Marie, I think you are right. Mind-bending AND dimension-bending at the same time. SO interesting.
