ARTIST’S BIO
I work with plants and plant dyes on natural fibers to make beautiful, useful things. I am fascinated with the colors achieved from many humble weeds we overlook every day and the rather magical processes used to get them to give up their secrets. I have always been a bit obsessed with the passage of time, and this art form fits right in. The time of year and the stage of growth of a plant can affect what color it will give. The process itself cannot be rushed-open the bundle too soon and it is ruined. This work teaches me mindfulness, presence and patience.
"SMALL STORIES: ECO PRINTING AND MIXED MEDIA"
This show is about the things I think about and is made up of projects I have always wanted to make, but haven’t given myself the time and space to do so. We all tell ourselves stories in way or the other. Some of this work is a story I am telling you, some pieces allow you to either finish or write the story yourself.
