Artist Statement I feel a closeness to fabric perhaps because it is so basic to life. My work is created with a threaded needle and encompasses a wide range of techniques from traditional and contemporary embroidery, quilting and beading. My choice of technique is dependent upon suitability to developing and expressing each individual idea. I regularly use the domestic sewing machine as a drawing and textural tool by lowering the feed dogs and removing the presser foot to allow for a spontaneous flow of rhythm and movement. The inspirations for my designs come from observations and reflections of nature, man-made objects and human relationships. The motivation for my work is an attempt to express some undefined quality, an inner need, an emotion, a message. My finished work does not itself represent the destination but the continuation of the journey. It incorporates my experiences and stimulates growth in a new direction. |
