ARTIST STATEMENT

While I was pondering suitable images for monochromatic artworks, we took a trip up the coast into southern Oregon. One spot where we stopped was literally all green, though I was struck by the variety of leaf forms, textures, and the changing light and shadows of that forest.  Photos I took during the trip became the inspiration for my first Prism Play piece, using the Spring Green color card.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES

Materials: Hand-dyed fabrics, commercial prints and batiks, cotton batting, and cotton quilting threads. 

Techniques: Hand-cut, raw edge fusing, free-motion quilted on a domestic machine.
