My "block"
To me the Yarra river means a whole range of things. Such as Life. Light. Shade. Movement and colour contained by the water and the water itself.
I compel the observer to stand on the bank and see what is in the water. Peer into its depth and follow the flow and the changing colours.
I leave it up to the imagination of the observer to "identify" creatures and vegetation depicted.
I have used a number of techniques and fabrics for this block.
A brown based fabric with a “light and shade” print for the river bed and the bank.
I arranged a formation of creatures with pumpkin seeds on the river bed.
A blue and green “watery” print which I modelled into wavelets with machine stitching.
I created vegetation with the use of netting and hand embroidery.
Hoping that this block will be helpful within the larger plan. My kind regards Ciska
