I'm always looking for more workshops opportunities ... happy to travel out of town, (unless it's snowing!) so please get in touch if you, or anyone you know, might be interested in playing with fabric and design.

PICKING UP THE PIECES 'Picking Up The Pieces’ was inspired, quite literally, by the little pieces of snipped fabric that fall to the cutting room floor when I am working on a project. As someone unable to throw out anything—particularly shimmering morsels of material—I gather up all the fallen bits at the end of every project and keep them in a large plastic tub. After many projects, there are enough saved scraps or ‘mistakes’ for me to dip my hands into a gorgeous bucket of potential fabric brushstrokes and play. The result is a body of work that portrays the ordinary caught in the fleeting moments when it is not all bundled up and packaged as we expect it to be. I have tried to pay homage to the elemental parts that comprise a moment or an object instead of the wholeness that we are more accustomed to. I hope viewers will look into them and find them not only interesting, intriguing and pretty but also, on some level, very familiar. 'Picking Up The Pieces of a Prism' (left) |
