"I have been working in textiles since graduating from the Mukhina Art School in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1967. My first solo exhibition was that same year and I originated a technique that I referred to as 'fabric collage.' It still remains important in my work. I don't do any preliminary sketches; I work full size in fabric from the beginning and I keep a 'memory book' to record ideas for future works. The artistry of my quiltmaking explores the capacity of my creativity and brings quiltmaking to the level of high art."
