Fiber and Stitchery
Mark making in stitchery offers a different form of expression. I discovered its pleasures during the isolation brought on by the COVID pandemic. There is an intimacy in holding the work in your lap, manipulating the fabric and stitching your story. While presently this work is exploratory, it will probably find its way into my other work.
