Jonathan Parker uses simple, direct processes in his painterly works. These pieces include elements of drawing, painting, and more provisional approaches like mending and appliqué. Cutting fabrics and canvas, sewing them together, painting, adding sewn shapes and then stretching the piece over stretcher bars.
