ARTIST STATEMENT
Color is what delights and inspires me. Color is what I see first and foremost as I move through the world. My weavings most often begin with a color palette based on place. The design then follows to express movement, transition, and depth. However, the Green series challenge was to create a pleasing green palette. Doubleweave cloth with two distinct layers of fabric is the weave structure I use to create my images. It fascinates me because it suits my imagination, allowing precise and subtle variations of perspective and color within the orderly framework of the loom.
