About Mustard/Earth Stiffy
I carry pieces of canvas and linen to work on while traveling imprinting them with the local colors and textures. Later I stiffen them and mount them on panels. A curator came into my studio and called the un-stretched paintings "stiffys". Their little stiffened threads are unexpectedly expressive like feelers.
