Raw Faces


After cutting up canvas that I staple around the wooden stretchers that eventually become paintings I am frequently left with long thin strips of material.  The wider remnants I resew together  and  am able to ‘reuse’ again to be  restretched  for another painting.  But what to do with those pieces that are too narrow to be resewn?    Weave them, of course, loose threads and all.  My default is the portrait.
