Statement
My work reflects my heritage and my life experience. I speak with colour and texture. I tell my stories using layers and fragments of fabric and threads. Complexity stimulates my analytic mind to abstract and synthesize, to learn and apply new skills.
The world of quilting is a treasure chest filled with puzzles for me. Each quilt I make is a puzzle to solve, into which I channel my energy to create structure, order and beauty. Within each solution, I embed an essential piece of myself.
My life is a continuum of changes. Serendipity and chance-encounters are my valued friends. As I stitch pieces of fabric into a quilt, I weave together the threads of my multi-faceted experiences. The path of transformation leads me on a journey of discovery. My quest is to find simple solutions to worthwhile challenges so that I can marvel at their elegance. |
