Dome Decor
So the season has begun, and that means making art for this years festival circuit!
The two projects that were a focus of these last few weeks was getting the Dome and the Prayer Flag Project ready for their first summer festival at the Alexandria Blossom Fest.
The green flags are actually quite large. So I drew up a big image, and shot it onto the biggest screen I could get my hands on.
It was a pretty huge effort to pull, but they ended up turning out great!
As well to prep for the Alexandria Festival, I needed to untangle the mess that the prayer flags were in after their installation at taBURNak!
And what better place to hang out and do that but with friends in the sun while everyone else makes art and gardens in Burner Alley in Montreal.

While an Archimedes Design Dome is a beautiful thing in of itself, I, being the artist that I am, could not rest with just single color flags for the exterior. I wanted the dome to be covered in imagery. So I decided that I would do screen prints on the hexagon green flags that I had, and that I'd make dye sublimation photographic prints for the flags in the pentagons.
As well I decided to print out a few other things I have been doodling lately, to make them into wearables, or just have those images on fabric.
(you can't really see in this picture, but I am wearing one that I dyed and make into a shirt)
I also tried printing for the first time onto leather, which turned out amazing and I cannot WAIT to make into something!
I can feel the tingles as the summer festival season starts to creep up!
