An informal listing of work. Spiraling out from the 'piko'; I weave two quilts that exist as one. Two stories echo, compliment, or debate each other. They are in "syzygy"; forever yoked together. In the tradition of quilts I use thrift store finds, or fabrics gifted to me, or salvaged throw aways; I'm always on the cheap. I question what is considered ugly vs beautiful. And I hope to tease out a story of interest while teasing the eye.

A surprise at Firecats Gallery while Hannah Deaton documented my work.
Helen O'Rourke was my SAIC Fiber Dept. advisor in 1977, she came with silky fabrics for me. I haven't seen her since 1980! So delighted and surprised I didn't finish taking the last photo of 'Mandala (Silky)'. We forgot to flip it for one more picture. See 4th Presbyterian show Jan. 1917.
We were much more jolly then the photo indicates.
'Syzygy' show at Firecat Projects Gallery. Both sides of woven quilts; except for 'Mandala (Silky)'. See 4th Presbyterian show Jan. 2017.
