batik on silk

18 x 24″

Wherever I travel, I have always been struck by the many ways that families dry their clothing. This particular scene was photographed from a moving car on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Drying clothing outdoors is a universal occupation whether it is hanging from a balcony in Egypt to a clothesline on a Caribbean beach to a line hanging outside a home in Japan. This has lead to a series of paintings primarily using the wax and dye resist method known as batik.
