“My new fabric series has been percolating both in my head and on canvas for the last four years. Due to the pandemic and being evicted from multiple studios, the pieces went on hold and literally into storage, but their imagery remained in my mind’s eye.
By the time I was physically able to revisit them, my initial vision had expanded and I had a somewhat clearer idea about where they originated. ”
“I am enthralled by the idea of movement, drama, and pattern. They are theatrical. I love the idea of combining contrasting prints that speak to each other. I visited one of the last fabric stores in New England. It still sells large quantities of textiles on rolls and I bought yardage in bulk. As I watched it unfurl to be measured, then be re-rolled to count the yardage, I was transported in time by the smell of the fabric, the sound of sharp scissors slicing through selvage, and I remembered: likea sudden jolt of an electrical shock, I was once again a small child with my mother. She sewed everything - our curtains, many of my clothes, slipcovers. Then, I understood.”
“White, another obsession, has transitioned from the softness of snow to the softness of pillows. An interior landscape, both literally and metaphorically. Now white fabric emerges out of the still form of pillows, free and fanciful, dancing and spinning, alive with movement and joy.”
