Teaches at French General

In my work, I create a scaffolding of fabric, piecing, and quilting that allows me to reference many ideas on a single plane.  The raw materials are textiles from domestic culture, fashion, family heirlooms, and scavenged prints.  I integrate them with fabrics that I have embroidered, stained, dyed, or designed.  These materials are pieced together to create the main imagery of the quilt, like a collage.  This cloth is then beset with hand stitches, evocative of the slow process involved in construction, and functioning as a layer of ‘drawing’ on the quilts surface.
