Blick: Wearable Art Challenge

This Deadline Expired: Sunday, September 24, 2017

Ditch the museum and take your art to the streets with our Wearable Art Challenge.

What is wearable art? It’s typically a piece of handcrafted clothing or jewelry that pushes the boundaries of the form and makes a unique artistic statement. For inspiration, the fashions at the Met Gala and the Wearable Art Gala, and the avant-garde designs of Rei Kawakubo are great starting points.

Create a wearable artwork of your own and you could be one of five randomly chosen artists to win a prize pack worth more than $200, containing more than $120 of product from Jacquard plus a $80 Blick Gift Card. All mediums welcome!

My recent works are a break from the painterly images I have made in the past few years. In a search for something more deliberate I changed my painting method and style. It is an abstraction using crosshatching, a technique usually reserved for rendering form and depth I have created an abstract flat image more akin to topography verging on minimalism. The linear hatch marks are made on a matte gradiated background which focuses the viewer on the duality of surface and color. These works are a meditation on labor and time: of coming together and the borders that separate us. The marks are not only creating an aesthetic pattern they are literally the marking of art, and the work that has gone into the piece.

My life and my perceptions are the subjective drivers for the pictures I make. Making a painting is, for me, an exploratory process toward understanding, not an expository declaration of a position already held.
