Item Description

Artist statement:

As a painter uses the stroke of a brush to create a swath of color or depth of field, I use the various hues, tones, and thicknesses of thread, which I lay, strand by strand on board, to achieve a similar yet wholly unique result. Whether working from one drawing or merging multiple images into one final piece, my goal is to meld concept and form into one seamless image

The subjects of my paintings are my urban neighborhood, my travels, and abstract concepts such as time, movement and music. The origin of my technique, gluing yarn to board, were the collages I began making in 1969 while still in high school. Twenty years after I began gluing string I learned of the Huichols, an indigenous Mexican community working in a similar medium. I went to Mexico in 1992 as a Fulbright Scholar to meet other yarn painters and began an ongoing exploration of the rich Latin American textile tradition. Traveling has taught me to use my art as a tool for exploration

Whether I am comparing notes with artists of another culture or depicting our daily struggles entwined with art, history and religion my goal is to create images that linger in people's minds long after they've walked away from my work.
