A Fascination With Figures in Motion
Nothing pleases my eye more than a figure
in motion. I am constantly looking for
scenes that have people in motion, whether
it is farm laborers, clam diggers or a
woman at the seashore swinging her child
in the air.
I had the image, for the figures in the
rug of my daughter and grandson, in my
mind before I took the photos. I knew
exactly how I wanted the figures positioned.
I took many photos and from these
I made my pattern.
For the "Cabbage Field" I had the idea but
not the image in my mind. I live in a rural
setting not far from the Bay of Fundy,
Nova Scotia, and make frequent outings
to photograph people at work in the
fields or at the shore. These captured
images of my home area are my inspiration
for my rugs.
for my rugs.
