Artist Statement

I used a collage approach to create black and white studies. As I expanded these studies into a larger composition and transitioned into color, I noticed that some representational figures emerged. My usual visual form is abstract, but I decided to embrace this new design form.

Materials

Commercial and hand-dyed cotton fabrics, rayon and cotton threads

Techniques

Freely-cut lines and shapes, collage assembly, machine piecing, machine quilting
