Something about the random collage/quilting technique—which I’ve been developing for eight years now—appeals to both sides of my personality: the control freak and the flower child.
I’ve always anticipated the work in visual flashes and then pieced together what I’ve seen. The work continues to be about connection.
I love joining fabrics from near and far into something new and unanticipated. Call it the synergy of quilting. A practical art, quilting has been undertaken in many circumstances--by firelight, as a project for many hands, for a few minutes a day for months on end. In that spirit, using modern machine quilting techniques, I produce mainly useful items, designed for the heat of daily use.
