Artist Commentary

Label

Artist Statement: Starting with small swatches of my own dyed and painted fabrics, I started hand stitching each piece to vintage family linen. Every one a different fabric with a unique stitching design letting the variety and diverse color combinations create their own composition. I stopped at 108 individual little art works, then hand stitched them together on felt, backed with more of my dye painted fabrics. This 570 inch long collection can be hung on a wall, suspended from the ceiling, looped over a rod, or displayed coiled on a surface.
