3D Textile Work

Holes: Study (2023) 10″ x 26″ x 1″

Fabric ink on satin, holes cut into the finished work and fabrics sewn on the back for depth and dimension moving inward. Stitched with rayon thread.

Sow The Wind (2022) 30″ H x 15″ W x 3 D”

Sow the Wind, Reap The Whirlwind

Created from white satin and white cotton lawn using matches, textile inks and markers, watercolors, textile paints, beads, and rayon threads. Hand painted and quilted on domestic sewing machine. 

From the Old Testament, Hosea 8:7 states that those who insist on planting (sowing) the wind (something worthless or foolish) will harvest the whirlwind (storm). It’s a way of saying there are consequences to actions, and even a multiplication of consequences.  Just as a farmer can plant one seed and harvest a bushel, we can sow foolishness and down the line harvest way more than we bargained for.   

Seeing Red  (2023) 32″ H x 45″ W x 3 D”

Work in my experimental series painting inks on white satin and incorporating extensive quilting texture and dimensionality.   

Blue Pointy Things (2022) 30″ H x 20″ W x 3″D

Made for a themed call on the idea of Thorns and Spikes. I’ll bet if you got close enough, lots of spiky, desert plants look as alien as this (although, perhaps not quite so blue).

Wrong Patch (2020) 30.5″ H x 29.5″ W x 1″ D

Made during the Pandemic, the Presidential election campaign, and a local earthquake. Everything seemed to be out of kilter in my world.
