This piece was painted with Dye-
na-flow and scrunched until it was dry.
This base of this fabric was screen-printed with construction fence under the screen. Once dry, the whole piece was painted with Dye-
na-flow. The paint filled all the areas that weren't already painted. I didn't really like this piece until I added the final layer. You just never know.
The first layer was black textile paint through a
thermofax screen, second layer was yellow
Setacolor, the third layer was Dye-
na-flow.
I grew up in MA where there are plenty of old apartment buildings and fire escapes, but there aren't many in Santa Barbara. This one is part of the historic Hotel Santa Barbara. This building is 3 stories high; the tallest in town is five stories. The building codes are very strict here, both size and style are scrutinized. It generally takes about 5 years to get a building permit. Patience and deep pockets are required.
