A. with two jaquard fabrics from my thesis. I will post better images of this work soon.

First jaquard-woven fabric. I got the idea for the geometric forms from looking at quilts, but I this is more like a shattered quilt. It's all the same parts, but they have a totally different energy... it's constructed quite differently. I've never quilted before, but like hand weaving and painting, it's a hands on process. There is a really wonderful thing that happens with painting that I began to feel cheated out of when I realized I had to make my work on an industrial loom. Consequently my work often hinged on disaster trying to see how much latitude I could make for myself with the machine.

Positive/negative
This is one of the first screenprints that I did-reinterpreting nature/landscape prints. I created the stencil by assembling pieces of foam core as if they were blocks.
