My Where Do We Go From Here? series explores way-finding in a chaotic world. I take Japanese shibori hand-dying techniques and reinterpret an old art form for contemporary times. See this work while it is on tour at the Art Cloth Network travelling exhibition, ReVision. It is layered hand-dyed silk fabrics with hand-stitching.
In the Where Do We Go From Here? series, I explore way-finding in a complex and chaotic world. This piece was inspired by the ancient Peruvian Wari textile below, and the American quilt block called ‘flying geese.’ I love to combine elements of old and new to create a new ‘species’ of textile art.
A ‘deconstructed American flag,’ this work’s title references Yeats’ poem, The Second Coming. It is layered hand-dyed silks, fused and hand-stitched. The Where Do We Go From Here? series explores way-finding in a chaotic world.
I am thrilled to announce that this work will be part of the Smithsonian’s We Are the Story traveling exhibition. Learn more about the exhibition, Curated by Carolyn Mazloomi, here.
