Stencilling is a great ways to add new design elements

 to upcycled clothing. Stencils by their nature make

extremely flat images.

                                   

These photos, though hard to figure out, are stencils

shown in a new way. All of the stencils shown are cut from

acetate, except the hand shape which is made of cardboard. 

In their many printings ,each has been either sprayed with

paint or hand printed.  This leaves ghostly

 after-images around the openings.

 In these photographs, they overlap and are transformed

  into mysterious and beautiful abstact figures. .
