Working in luminous silks and cottons, batiks and hand dyed and painted fabrics, my pieces are meditations on the transitory mysteries of our beautiful breathing earth. The immediacy and delicacy of the extensive hand work I employ is a crucial part of my creative process reflecting that same fragile and elusive process I see and experience in nature. A return to painting more directly with liquid dyes on wet textiles and separate mixed media explorations are currently well underway with an extensive new cycle of work in mixed media, primarily photo montage and paint, based on my collection of Afghan embroideries and photographs made during travels in Afghanistan many years ago in a brief time of peace.
