Artist Commentary

Label

“The main portion of the design is pieced, and then the additional layers of transparent fabric are applied to the background areas. This creates a soft, diffused effect similar to watercolor. The curved motif, repeated in a number of different ways, is reminiscent of blossoms, buds or flames. The red areas mingle with the blue, bringing to mind the merging of two elements as diverse as fire and water.”
