I am a fabric artist. I dye and pattern blank fabric, turning it into stories about complex political and social relations. Until 1987, all my creations were short statements about color, pattern and shapes which became clothes. Invited to do a one person exhibit gave me an opportunity to direct those primary skills toward more stories about family, biography, literacy…Today, I am challenged to tell a story about my all encompassing interest in the human dialogue between artist and the public-thus The Canopy Project.
