"Combinations"

In a continuation of my process for my show I decided to add two new pieces to the performance. I was debating for a while if I should continue making blue pieces but then I thought "ehh.. why not orange"?   With these two pieces I wanted to be a bit more minimal so my audience could be drawn to color and form. I still can't get these triangles out of my head so I'm thinking they are here to stay at least for this piece. The intricate process of making these two color combo's became such a struggle, with 6 pattern pieces, two values of orange, two values of red, and the combination of the two I was left with an odd number of values to play with. The challenge was interesting and fun and as a kind of weird inside joke with myself I decided to name the performance & piece Combinations. My was decision based mostly on the fact that by 2 a.m. in the dye studio that was the only word I could mutter out loud to anyone. Anyway, here is some of my process for the making of this piece taaaa daaa, enjoy.
