I can’t even begin to explain how inspiring this work has been for me to see and hear about. The work really brought me out of a slump and made me want to actually work on art again. Although I have to admit that printmaking wasn’t close to the art techniques her work inspired.
Since watching her presentation and looking at her pieces I really wanted to work more with line again and be able to use stitching and painting to really make something that feels like a piece I would be proud to say is mine. I love having the ability in my art project to just work without the need to put much thought in the final piece.
Professor Endicott used stitching in a way that it acts as paint. It’s used both as filler with thick strong lines and an accent to ink work on the cloth she would use as her base for any piece. Using layering and such fragile materials to make them strong and bold made the presentation very inspiring and almost emotional. She began using pure representatives in her art, such as young children’s clothing, always white or an off white. The bold red and browns made the pieces almost grotesque both in the way the shapes where made and accented and how they were hung to display.
