Dear Heart

Embrace the word ‘No’

It’s like a box.  It gives boundaries and walls.

The box allows the creativity to expand with abandon because the limit pushes back into itself. 

‘No’ stops you in your tracks and opens up a new place to start.

surrounded by the time I've made

 

 

the narrative quality of textile art is not limited to represntation, or mirroring language, or to the description of events or objects in the real world.

telling a story is a broad, multi-dimensional process - it can include memory, dream, myth, emotion, legend, history, fragments of time, ideas of the imagination, possibilities.

Nothing prepared her

 

"I wanted to write a novel about a woman I would recognize, who had a reflective side to her life"

"I wanted to write about a woman's discovery that she was an artist and the impact of that.  Nothing had prepared her for this sense of herself."

slow design

 

  

My ideas don't occur in a specific moment.
They are more like processes.

Abstract design comes from inside.

It gives the work an alien feeling.
that is mercilessly intimate.
