COLLAGE

Collage is often a response to a particular textile that I've saved, found, or made, and is my version of "drawing" with cloth. Sometimes there is a subject that develops as I construct the composition; other times these are formal exercises and celebrations of pattern, texture and image. In particular, the MilleFleur series is inspired by the Unicorn Tapestries, with their dense and decorative backgrounds of flowers and foliage.
