Artist, Polly Apfelbaum: I use a squeeze bottle, and I squeeze first the middle color, and then what I do is take the other squeeze bottle, which has the red, and dab it. And where I dab, it makes a mark. And if you look closely at the piece, there's like double dots in it. So that's where I've touched the fabric.
Then I cut out everything, and leave that quarter inch border. Because it really gives it a sharper edge, and that helps in the flying, (Laughs), in the levitating.
I hand install the piece, and each time it's different. But basically the piece is from light to dark, and it's a spiral of color. One of the parts of the work that I love is the kind of coming in and making it in a space. It's kind of reinventing the piece.
