Acrylic, aqua pencil, sumi, dirt on Tyvek — framed in shadowbox.
Framed 26.75 x 15”
Tyvek works are mounted onto a cradled panel that is floated in an unglazed hardwood shadowbox frame. This allows the work to be protected while the rich surface texture can be enjoyed without a reflective layer of glazing.
Though a manufactured material, the texture of Tyvek reads as fluid fibers mimicking hand made paper. Archival and extremely durable, the material allows Sandra Jo to work larger and with more abandon. I remain amused by an industrial textile as substrate in light of over 3 decades of collaboration in flatweave tapestry. The handwoven tapestry is actually a rigid structure related to machines in strange contrast to the industrial material Tyvek produced by machines yet reflecting a handmade paper vibe.
