| I
make fabric landscapes because I like the challenge of creating the "ordinary"
(a landscape) out of the "extraordinary" (fabric). I like the feel
of working with fabric, and enjoy manipulating it to create hills, water,
trees, etc.
The
biggest challenge for me is to find the right balance between simple piecing
and more involved embellishing. I want the simplicity of each piece
to draw the viewer into a peaceful time and/or place within themselves,
when life was good and they felt content. However, I also want the
landscape to look real, which frequently calls for at least a small amount
of embellishment. The balance changes with each piece, which keeps
me interested, and, hopefully, growing and improving. |
