Having amassed 45 years of self-created images from my art adventure on this earth,in mining imagery from my previous work, new wonders emerge. I have a “treasure chest” of visual media longing to be viewed. Also, the forced isolation from the pandemic has somehow resulted in a freedom to lift expectations and expand, manipulating that imagery once again but in a different way. 

Using my 50-year-old sewing machine that is my longtime friend, I set to work combining net, fabric, paper -new, repurposed- resulting in pieces that embrace traditional women's handiwork because of the use of sewing and include photographs I have taken. The photos are then printed on canvas, enabling me to sew them onto paper and fabric.

Ultimately, this creation becomes a tribute to feminine practice on many levels, and a personal reflection as well. It also brings back my love of construction.
