An Experiment

I just finished a new piece in my handprint series.  I began the piece weeks ago by quilting grid lines on white fabric, occasionally making the lines shorter than the width of the fabric.  Then the piece sat unattended because I didn't have any plan or idea in mind.  Finally, I decided to paint it tan.  This was followed by letter stenciling and paint splatters.  Then, for some unknown reason, I thought it would be cool to add a TAP photo transfer of my father's hand.  He lost his ring finger in an industrial accident and I think his hand looks interesting.  Unfortunately, because of the angle of the photo (he was reaching towards me as I took the picture), it looks like he has two fingers, two stubs, and a gap.  Not the case.  I think the error (on my part) was not coloring on the TAP so the contrast was greater.    I do like the feel of the piece, with the gritty transfer and the splatters, but I didn't intend it to be gruesome, which I fear it might be.

What do you think?
