Textile collage
I grew up decoding my world through cloth. Long ago I learned to cut, attach, pierce, color, and repeat. I love cloth because it consistently offers me a highly sensual and sensitive field on which to play. Fabric is strong—strong enough to hold metal, quiet enough to remember a whisper, loud enough to carry a shout. Wise enough to answer in metaphor.
