4 Big Fans
When it comes down to it, I’d have to say this is all about those four big fans.

Love those fans (I’m a fan fan), but the rectangles are nice, too.

Linda – are you familiar with a ceiling fan company call Big Ass Fans? You’d probably be a fan of their fans, too. And, yes, there ARE a lot of rectangles in here….

I was not familiar with Big Ass Fans, but I see on their website just now that they sell fans that are 24 feet in diameter. Now that is a Big Ass Fan. Did I ever show you a picture of the embroidery I did on my linoleum print (printed on cloth) based on my photo of an industrial fan in Cortez, Florida? I can get kind of carried away about fans . . .

My architect friends tell me that they have to be careful with some of their clients about making reference to “big ass” fans, to make sure it’s understood to be a brand name. In my opinion, it’s one of the best brand names I’ve heard – funny, unforgettable, and descriptive.
I do not believe that you’ve shared the embroidery on a print from a photograph (Did I get that right?) but I would be very interested in seeing it!

Try this page: https://www.surfacedesign.org/image/fan-embroidered. And here’s a detail: http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/material-matters/image_9eee6f20-5e42-11e1-a742-001871e3ce6c.html. The print was not printed directly from the photograph. It started as a drawing based on my photograph; I transferred the drawing to the linoleum block, carved the block, and printed it on three different kinds of cloth. One was a print with white ink on black satin; one was a print with black ink on white satin, which I then quilted. And one was a print with black ink on white canvas that I embroidered. The Beck Center show had the original photo and the three prints. I was in Florida when the show was up and only have installation shots to prove it.

Linda! That’s beautiful! It’s always a surprise to find out what ELSE people do, when I know them only from photography blogs.
Thank you so much for letting me know about one of your other talents.

Thanks, Melinda! Other talents? Like someone who is an urban, regional, and historic-preservation planner as well as an environmental designer and architect? Hmm, yes we can do many things.
