ARTIST STATEMENT

A sea change isn’t a modest change, but something that no longer resembles what it once was. If rising temperatures continue and increasingly massive Pacific storms result, coastal ecosystems could experience a perilous metamorphosis. As I worked on this quilt, images of storm surges and flooding swept through my mind and onto the cloth I was dyeing and quilting. Sea Change was inspired by an ocean on the brink of radical change.

MATERIALS

Thai silk, various threads, organic cotton batting, raw silk lining
