Artist Statement: On a trip to Italy a few years ago, I was intrigued by the wedges of sky visible above the small alleyways. Those shapes captured my imagination and I sketched and collaged dozens of them in my travel journal. Once in my studio, other inspirations intruded: the Kantha quilts of Bengal and a color workshop, in particular.

In short, with these pieces I anticipate practicing quilting at its most fundamental: a marriage of form, color and stitching.
