FILOSOFGANGEN EXHIBITION, Odense, Denmark

BIOGRAPHY:

I received an MFA in 1997 from Arizona State University.  During the course of my study, I received a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Danish Design School in Copenhagen, Denmark.  In addition, I received the graduate school's highest award, the Nathan Cummings Foundation Summer Travel Fellowship.  I have an extensive exhibition record in the U.S.A. and have exhibited my artwork internationally.  I have had articles and reviews published in the Surface Design Journal, Fiberarts and American Craft. 

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

I create my body of work from paper with printed text and found objects.  The quality of the paper I use often dictates the processes that transform it.  My personal library, my travels and half-price book stores yield interesting finds for my work.  Dictionaries, history books, and personal paper are taken apart and the pages machine stitched end to end to form large surfaces.  I machine stitch a small grid over the entire surface, and then dye or stain and distress it.  The result is a lacy fabric that casts shadows onto adjacent surfaces.  Air currents cause the panels to shift and rustle.
