MATUSE FAMILY: LOUISE BURTON

Louise Burton working with Matuse Geoprene.

Dear Matuse Family,

It has been quite intense over the last few weeks. However, it is now over — although not for long as I am back in the studio already! I just wanted to keep you updated with all Geoprene news from this side of the Atlantic…

I have continued using the same techniques in order to keep designing on Geoprene, and have used one piece in my final show as part of the manikin piece, and made another one which I have used as a portfolio piece. The degree is now over so I am free to go crazy and do some more aesthetically exciting pieces. My project was very technical so it was almost slightly restricted. However, now that I have the techniques, I plan to go wild on the fabrics and take the ‘look’ to a new level…! Anyway, I thought you might like to see a few pictures of what I have been up to with the Geoprene!!

I hope you are well over there and enjoying the Summer Sun!

Thank you so much for everything, I will keep you updated in the coming weeks with what may become of the next part of this journey…

Louise

TSD – "I Love My Life" Mural Time-lapse

Matuse Family Member, Taylor Scott Dunfee, had an art show last week in Chicago’s Studio 101. The time-lapse above shows Taylor creating the “I Love My Life” mural inside Studio 101. It took him 9 hrs along with a lot of beers and smokes to get this done. Taylor also confesses to being a bit scared of heights but he got through it for his art. Taylor also featured 7 other original art pieces, many of which are painted onto clear plexiglass. To see more of Taylor’s work visit his personal website at: http://taylordunfeecreative.com/

Pat Millin enjoys some fun waves at his local break here in San Diego. The recent swath of south swells has kept the west coast fun and out of the flat zone. Even with all the funky wind lately there has been some semi-glassy days. Pat making the most out of what’s given.
