About The Artwork
I work with the materials I have on hand - some are recycled, some are new. The textures and colors inspire the design of the piece. This piece began with the hot pink base fabric and the black and white plaid. I wanted to add more texture and interesting color combinations - I added small hummingbird images from an old shirt that my son wore; I mixed wool to create cloud like texture for the hummingbirds to fly through... I added the blue / green fiber in the middle of the yellow fabric as a "nest" area.. The many lines of stitching create movement around the piece. the poem inspired by the piece: that feeling between waking and sleeping floating through reality and something even more real something that feels light blissful fun – pure joy like laughing while walking in the rain on a warm summer afternoon laying in a puddle looking up at the clouds Dreamy love sleepiness a little strange but somehow it all makes perfect sense

Kelly Darke (b. 1973) is a Metro Detroit fiber artist. Darke creates highly textured hand embroidered abstract art using new and recycled material. She is inspired by neuroscience and art therapy. Her work with texture and color evokes a positive visceral response in the viewer. In addition to abstracts, Darke also creates hand embroidered portraits. Prior to working in fibers, Darke created abstract oil paintings with a similar focus on color, texture, and composition. After the birth of her first child, she shifted her creative practice to using fibers, a more accessible and flexible studio practice. Darke uses her art to develop techniques to help others find ways to create calmer, more peaceful lives. She has created and presented countless art therapy experientials that can be used as an active meditation to regulate mood. Darke has written on the therapeutic aspects of art for magazines, an edited book, as well as co-authored a book for art therapy professionals. Creating art and sharing the benefits of art with the community are essential to her work.
