A peek at Rosemary Pilgrim’s visual musings.

“ So... let me begin with a simple stand alone drawing... where I begin working on to a collaged and painted substrate. This happens a lot after this piece. You can see where it began as a doodle in a staff meeting”.

One of those times when you feel the urge to pick up the pencil, and the drawing draws itself”. Colour pencil drawing... 7 inches diameter”.

“So... whenever I prepare substrates I do several at a time.

Substrates seen in the last work sat for a while... life!

Then a series of 5 small pieces which I called 'Hestian musings' happened. You'll remember my identification with that particular goddess.

Today I'm sending an image of the first... and a peek at one of my sketches”.

“Then Came the Shirts….”

“Then came the shirts…

By the middle of 2021 I was drowning... and decided then to spend a year just playing in my sketchbooks. I tried lots of stuff... always drawing of course... but also Gelli-plate printing, making paper cloth, several textile/stitch workshops online etc.

I can now feel my creative self, getting ready to move beyond the sketchbooks.

Anyways... back to the shirts... symbols for herself.”

“Most of the work on canvas are mixed-media... this one: 12 x 12 inches”.
