The Black Fish


This is one of my favorite studies of a collage fish.   This was made when I came back from Kyoto.  I hand pieced all the small bits of cloth and then I machine stitched the back of the piece to get the movement to flow through this.  I tend to think that most of my art studies of fish have taken on a personality of there own.

My Work


I decided to put my dreams into a bowl. I dream in Tessellation. Repeating geometric patterns occupy my mind at night. These bowls were made with treating 100 percent silk caps that were hand dyed. They are so transclucent that they seem to let the light in and out of them. I love my own work- is that conceited? I hope not.

If this bowl could contain my dream it would be about returning to Japan- to the place which holds my heart and soul. So much of my work is reflective about the experiences of the Japanese geisha-

If you dream- do you dream in color too?
