Splash into the Green Print

I investigate the natural world and the inner world through the creation of hand-printed, richly layered art quilts. In the process, I hand print images and patterns on rice paper and fabric. Because of the textural, tactile nature of my art quilts, I do not create reproductions of them. I have, however, frequently found myself intrigued with the patterns and colors of the fabric and paper I create purely as aesthetic elements. For this body of work, I have created original digital collages using detailed photographs of the paper and fabric I print. Collage artists are known for saving every little scrap for use in a new work! These digitally collaged works are one more way of preserving and using the work of my hands.
