Gail Rutter
Fiber and Mixed-Media Artist

The main focus of the works in this series is adaptability to different interior environments.  Each piece is composed of a set of modules that is conceptually and compositionally complete with a balance of color, line, texture, and movement.  The works are intended, though, to be arranged in any desired configuration.

The series evolves in groups of works with a common theme.  Titles and imagery correspond with that theme.  Each work is of the same technical process.  Hand-woven, highly textured fabric becomes the "canvas" on which the imagery is painted with acrylic.  The paintings are cut into various size "tiles" which have a framed, rigid backing and finished edging.  The works are easy to install with small nails on which the frame rests.  Each piece is versatile and "participatory" involving the recipient in the final design.
