The artist statement says:
It’s a gorgeous day for a picnic. You bring the cherries and I’ll bring the kiwi.

This piece is made completely with fabrics I printed and dyed myself.

It’s a little smaller than most of my recent work. This in-situ photo gives you an idea of how it might look in an interior space.

  • Working with Scraps

    I had some interesting scraps left over from Waiting for the Lightnin’ Bugs.  As you can see, they included many skinny triangles, so I knew that would drive my design. And, because they were so skinny, I knew I’d use a collage technique, rather than piecing them. After creating a background, I started with the brightest…
