Finally feel my newest nailweave piece is finished. I kept going back and making it denser....happy with it now. Actually can't wait to start another...5 foot one. Love the process so much.(after my show though).

This is different than the other works of yours that I've seen.

The color and structure of them make the piece reminiscent of a field or city of bones. And some of the structures you've laid out remind me of defensive structures created on battlefields.... also markers for graves.

It would be neat to see a smaller piece consciously directed by that theme, but with enough unconscious and "random" activity to make it more dynamic, bringing forth a host of other allusions. Sort of like an abstract expressionist sculpture of a sprawling necropolis.

Or maybe this is just the Halloween talking?

FUnny you should say that...
I've been actually doing these nail pieces for about 10 years now. They're ritual based....pretty long evolution...from writing to code to weaves to cityscapes from above...which lead me into the more map-based resin works you're more familiar with.

I do have a field of bones piece called 'Reading the Ancestors':

And then pieces that were done when the war in Iraq began:
'Waking Sumer':

And after 9-11:
'Threads of Empathy'

There are a lot more of them on my website (http://www.darlenecharneco.com) in the Readings and Beyond Words sections.....

yes it's a wonderful practice. I miss it whenever I'm done with a piece. usually have one of these going while I work on any other series/artworks...

Great! I've put the date in my calander (which has suddenly opened up with D's sudden departure.)
I'll be back from London the week before! Perhaps I'll be able to snag a friend or two to come along! Yeah! Looking forward to it!

ps, actually this is a bit more of an old but continual direction....I've been doing the nailweaves for a long time....way before the resin....and continuing though alongside whatever else I do. It's a meditation...ritual for me...and I guess it's my version of knitting..and why I love weaves so much!;)

My dear... I do remember your nail weaves... I recall discussing on ehanging in a gallery out East there with Billy Joel in fact. He was fascinated by it...
...I can't believe just how many years ago that was. Sheesh!
