Each piece of cloth is processed multiple times before it is ready to be used in a composition.
I work from an attentive and open stance, responding to the qualities that make up the cloth itself. Each element of a composition is carefully placed, and considered for its relatedness and authenticity. In a very real way, each composition is a meditative exercise. I am seeking in each, that place of peace, the view of clarity that allows the viewer to establish the same within themselves. In the juxtaposition of and interplay between texture and pattern, intense color and subtle nuances of shade, I seek a delicate balance.
I generally work on several pieces at a time. Frequently a piece hangs incomplete on my wall for some time, not quite ready to be finished. I try to be patient; I pace, I take a walk in the mountains, come back.
There it is.
Telling me what to do next.
