Gray Black Copper Jacket, 2008

Hand printed fabric has been a part of my work for many years.  Using clothing to create an artistic environment has been very fulfilling.  Below is "Gray Black Copper Jacket" and detail of front closure from 2008.  My website, www.JenniferGouldDesigns.com, lists my classes.  The jacket painting/printing class is one of the most popular.

Self-Portrait with Pink Fruit, 2008

I realized at some point that I've been doing self-portraits (or purposely choosing myself as my subject) ever since college.  I began in 2008 to do photo transferred images of my face, hands and feet and adding them to this long rectangle and adding all kinds of items that were meaningful to me.  I never seem to be able to throw anything away that seems to have any meaning to nostalgia for me so those items have sat waiting for these pieces.
