What I love most about working in a series is seeing the work develop with each piece I make ... I discovered this 'magic' when taking Lisa Call's 'Working in a Series' class a couple of years back....

There are lots of reasons for working in a series .... here is a link to a post by Katherine Tyrrell which gives an excellent review of the reasons why artists choose this approach ...

With the Grevillea Series that I started last year, I have worked on a number of smaller pieces developing design ideas and techniques ......

and then a couple of larger exhibition pieces, including the work for Art Quilt Australia 2017.

So now it is time to get down to the serious 'series work'!!

I have defined a number of parameters for the series work to come, in terms of size, techniques and materials and I'm making good progress with the first piece with the stitching is coming along nicely. Here are some detail shots of the work in progress ....

I also have the next couple of pieces starting to take shape on the design wall ..... It feels really good to be back into the flow of series work!

If you work in a series .... why do you take this approach??

Thanks for reading .... CC
