Abstract
The artist's statement: Rather than depending on synthetic dyes, I carefully gather bark, flowers, and leaves in hopes that they will share their beautiful hues and shapes with my fabrics; these fabrics then become screens in the lantern structures I build. An emphasis on the soothing use of light and color kindles a delicate ambiance. As in nature, the end result is often a magical surprise. The prints can only be planned to a certain extent; at some point the flowers then take their course and leave their personal imprints. This harmless natural method blends with the art of repurposing furnishings. The natural processes of our world are both beautiful and inspiring.
