From The Vault

It's time this week to look back at past projects. Projects never photographed till now. I created these wall hangings almost ten years ago. All fabric was from thrift stores.  Hand stitched.

Maybe I was a bit more patient back then.

Love the sense of energy and bold purpose. Not qualities traditionally associated with textile art, which makes it all the more striking.

I would hang any one of them in my house - love them all! I'm a bit partial to aboriginal art with a more modern twist, and the nod from you, & where you took it, is inspired.

Robyn said...

I agree with all of the above comments...(but maybe not the obsessive compulsive bit as I believe repetition is all part of creativity) and I would like to add that I like the integrity of your work.
All that you share reflects the integrity and adds confidence to your creations.

Best of luck for all you wish to achieve.

Wonderful pieces. And so fascinating to see where your present day artwork has evolved from. Once a sewer, always a sewer.
