Here’s a peek at a piece that will be exhibited at Worcester Art Museum during Art All-State 09 in May.
Made with felted wool, the individual forms initially reminded me of barnacles, but now look more like moss. I’d like to eventually make enough for a large wall installation.
I’ve been garlanding together some fabric circles. This morning they looked particularly beautiful hanging against a cotton tea towel with the light breaking into the studio. The shadows the garland casts are so lovely, it might be hard to remove them from their current, effortless drape on the wire hanger. I’ll be sure to assemble them into a work that casts lovely shadows in other spaces besides my own.
Because I love all kinds of materials and processes and because one can never have too many projects on their desk, (gasp!) I’ve decided it’s time to follow through with some of the fine art-ish ideas swirling in the ‘ol noggin. I’m excited and ready for input, so I thought now is a good time to share. This installation will be at the Worcester Art Museum during Massachusetts Art All-State in at the end of the month.
I’ve been playing around with crinoline, a stiff, sheer fabric that folds and tears like paper. That’s the material you’re seeing in white (above) and in red (below)
in a mixed media- print/collage/drawing that will soon be in my shop.
and this stuff on my desk is what I’m working with next.

Oh, February, you cold month sitting between two other cold months! You come so quickly after the month of goal setting and good intentions! Your presence pulls away from the home improvement and organizational tasks that January so easily used to steal my attention. You are so sneaky and cleaver, wooing me with your red-and-heart-filled holiday, your promise of skiing and cozy nights. But don’t worry February, I’m going to be the one taking advantage of you and your extra day this year, especially since there’s no snow to ski on. See, I’ve already been sewing up something new. More to come, you’ll see.
