Drawing Tuesday - Serpentine

What a lot of subjects to choose from! In the "old Serpentine gallery", work by American artist Faith Ringgold, who has been a multimedia artist pretty much ever since she graduated from high school in 1948 -
Feminist series

Windows of the Wedding series

From the cut pieces intended for their second collaborative quilt,
unfinished when her mother Willi Posey died, Faith Ringgold
made "Mothers Quilt" in 1981
In the new gallery, a variety of painting by Colombian artist Luchita Hurtado, catapulted into the spotlight at age 98 -
Crayon and ink, work from the early 1950s

A self-portrait

"Moth Lights"
 I chose this long one, which uses five sheets of paper, and really enjoyed looking at how the shapes related to each other -
Untitled, 1954

Colours had to be changed to use what I had available

And there was the pavilion ...

Joyce

Mags

Janet K
 Carol looked along the Serpentine to the bridge -

Najlaa looked at Luchita's "moth lights" and  other patterns -

 Extra-curricular activities

Mags brought along photos of her work as shown in Meanwhile, the EDAM course show -
and also her workbooks, including how the colours of the tabs on the layered maps, based on her train stitching, relate to the train ticket -
She had printed one of the layered maps onto a cloth bag [I'm itching to extend some of those lines with a bit of stitch...] -

While away on holiday Joyce has been stitching -

turn it over and see...!
 ... and happened to be wearing some earlier stitching - splendid -


To end, some of the floral glory encountered on my walk through Hyde Park to the galleries, such a lovely walk -
