Pendleton-Inspired Nature Blanket Composite 4

Photographs of orange aloe flowers, quartz-veined rock, and blushing sunset skies, are woven together under a transparent blanket of grey, punctuated by geometric designs. 

Created in Photoshop, using images from my own collection, this piece of art is inspired by Pendleton's Native American series of wool blankets.

Pendleton Nature Blanket 1

This is the first Photoshop composite combining my love of Native American Pendleton Blankets, a personal library full of natural imagery, and the desire to gain facility with these powerful and magical tools of artistic expression. 

In this series of "Pendleton Nature Blankets" natural textures from photographs substitute some of the solid colors. The organization of geometric forms symbolize the human need to make sense of wilderness, controlling it so that it becomes a comfort to wrap ourselves in.

Individual "Blankets" will be available as small prints on archival paper, which should look lovely as a grouped display. Contact me if you're interested in collecting them.
