I am primarily a fiber artist making wall art pieces. I use fabrics that I dye, paint and manipulate as well as commercial fabrics. I also work in other mediums and often blend them together. I was a recycler since before it was popular so I use a lot of found objects in my work. Doing artwork every day is my main focus in life; besides my family that is! I like to use realistic images in my work, so this project was a struggle for me, though I have done some abstract pieces."Minimal or restrained" were the words that I found hard to make work. I tried to use most of the techniques given, but not knowing another poet to collaborate with, I used one of my own poems. Whether or not I was successful in meeting all the criteria of the project, it was fun as well as challenging Contact Information [email protected] |
