Artist Statement

I love petroglyphs. We have travelled far to see many ancient sites and I am always overwhelmed with a visceral connection to the people, myths, times, symbols and activities depicted in the stone art. I am easily transported back thousands of years. I have created this couple who feel an intimate longing to belong to the cosmos, as do I.

Techniques

Dyed with rust and botanical materials, stamping, painting, machine quilting.

Materials

Cotton, fabric paint.
