“I have always been drawn to fabric and have used it as my palette for design. My work explores a variety of surface design techniques to create art cloth and fabric collages. I use thermofax screens, silk screens, mono printing, and torn paper resist, in conjunction with thickened dyes and discharge paste, to create fabrics which are distinctive in their design. It is often the removal of color that creates the depth, richness and mysteriousness of the forms that emerge from the black fabric I start with. Some of my work is constructed with a collage technique while others are created from a single piece of printed fabric. Machine stitching, like freehand drawing, provides the detail embellishing these pieces.”
