Artist Statement

In this series, I explore the circular shape and the possibilities for looking in, looking through, stepping in, or a glimpse through a window. The shapes are bold but simple. They are magnified doodles which impose themselves without reservation. My goal in creating this textile collage is to bring the viewer into the picture, to dwarf the viewer – like Alice down the rabbit hole.

Cotton, dyes, paint

Techniques

Mixed media textile collage, hand-dying and painting, machine stitching
