Artist Statement: Rich color and the tactile, touch-inviting qualities of fabric are two of the main attractions of quilts for me. These pieces are the first steps I took into mixed media work. I love combining materials from other worlds, as in the actual painting on canvas that’s sewn into Girl Dreams. The juxtaposition of the twigs and the fabric also spoke to me, with the hardness and linearity of wood contrasting with the rectangular planes and colors and touchability of the fabric.

Dimensions: 24" wide x 36" high

Materials and Techniques: Cotton fabric, wood twigs, Thread "drawing" on machine, one small quilt in center applied to larger quilt. Machine quilted.
