Naturally dyed threads and fabrics, ecoprinted fabrics, hand and machine stitch.
Collaborating with Nature means giving up some control of design. Chance and accidents result in organic graffiti that the artist can only enhance, not claim.
An obsessive embroiderer, locked in her own mind, stitches her myopic and isolated view of time and sanity in daily recordings of hope and despair. A sampler, a diary, a medical chart, nature and personal tempo elicit responses to her internal and external wanderings, with thread and needle marking each day.
Congratulations to all the exhibitors.
