Artist uses bed linen as inspiration on paintings
Published: 12 March 2009
Sometimes painters and artists can be without the canvas they need for drawing, yet one did away with traditional paper and used bed linen and duvet covers to enhance their drawings.
An art professor at a university in America has used bed linen to bring her drawings to life, it has been reported.In her new installation titled Recovered Memory, artist Jan Wurm displays a series of everyday life images using chalk, charcoal and oil pastels on surfaces such as duvet covers and towels at the Eddie Rhodes Gallery in Contra Costa College, student newspaper Accent Advocate revealed.
Speaking of her bedding-based work, she said: "My work is all about contemporary life and experience memory can be about the fragment, the feel (and) the scent."
Fellow art professor Donna Fenstermaker told the newspaper: "It's interesting that she'd used alternative drawing materials. We don't always have to use paper and clay to draw on."
Earlier this week, Just Bedding stated that bedding could be used in another decorative sense, noting that bedspreads and duvet covers could be integral to a redesign without the need for an interior specialist.
