Vessels
$5,500.00
Vessels is part of a series of work exploring large saucer like shapes and the negative space between them. Color and value play a role, with the primary saucer shapes in strong saturated coral, lime green, orange, and turquoise, and the background shapes in lower intensity plum, black and gray.
Color is the first step in my artistic process, putting fabrics together the way a painter might use paint; then I cut shapes freehand with a rotary cutter, allowing her to engage in a direct dialog with her materials. Finally, I add stitching lines, also freehand without marking or computer assistance, adding dimension and tactile energy to the piece. All of the shapes are cut freehand without patterns or templates, then sewn together with my sewing machine.
Vessels was part of Quilt National ’23 and traveled with the show for a year afterward. Take a look at my artist talk for the piece for more information.

I create all my work in my studio overlooking a lake in Reston, VA. Each wall hanging is quilted individually using my sewing machine. The designs are stitched freehand, with no marking ahead of time and no computer program, just me drawing the designs in my head with the machine’s needle and thread.
Each piece has my signature stitched into the front in an unobtrusive spot.

Care: Avoid hanging in direct sunlight. To remove dust, brush lightly with a lint roller.
