Fiber
|
Like a song that needs no words, weavings speak with shapes and colors.
I visually reach out and touch the wonder of the world and put its language into a form.
My fibers are primarily hand-spun wools, silks, cottons, and cashmere tinted with natural dyes.
The objects, sounds, light, textures, and spirits of my woodland home on Cane Creek in southern
Alamance County flow through my endeavors to interweave the delights of the human connection with nature and a
personal response to the beauty and consequence of the alluvial environment.
I have studied with Barbara Grennell at the Penland School of Crafts and with Arlene Kukafka in Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
and I have exhibited in such venues as the Alluvial Fusion installation of the Bricolage Arts Festival in Saxapahaw, North Carolina;
“Artworks” at the Center for Creative Leadership, Greensboro, North Carolina;
the Invitational Craft Show at the Mint Museum, Charlotte, North Carolina;
the Invitational Craft Show at the University Museums, University of Mississippi, Oxford;
“4 Artists, 4 Media” at the Art School, Carrboro, North Carolina.
