Miles - Kinda Blue


Felicia Touhey approached her boots as a printmaker - taking in large part cues from her experience with the monotype process and her work as building collages. This pair of boots reminds me of Miles Davis - the cool blues of Kinda Blue playing off the yellows in Sketches of Spain. The motifs, repetition, a flow of line have echoes of decorative arts of the Mediterranean.
