I Love Summer

"My images are abstract and non-geometric and do not rely on a block/grid structure. I am seeking to recreate the apparent artlessness of nature's organic forms. I am fascinated by the flicker of light on moving water, the shimmer of the Northern Lights, the drift of clouds, and the patterns of pebbles washed up on a beach. I am also drawn to structured patterns as in the photography of cells and crystals, to units of aggregated texture such as brick and stone walls, circuit diagrams, and building facades. I have studied Japanese design to see how it combines structure and natural forms.

The technique that I use is machine strip piecing. I re-cut the pieced fabric and then machine quilt it in a process sometimes called ‘flip and sew quilting.’ I do not make a separate top that is later quilted."
