| Artist Statement
Generations of women in my family have nurtured the skill of sewing and
passed it on to those following them. This thread of needlework is
both my window to the past and my door to the future. My earliest
sewing memories are playing with scraps of my mother's fabrics and
fashioning clothing for my dolls. Now, years later, I am still
fascinated by fabric and dolls. I use the doll figure with its ancient
roots as the basic form in my work. Different body shapes and postures
are the body language that creates the mood or story. The face and
hands tell who she is and what she can accomplish. Textural bits and
pieces of fabrics, fibers, and beads are layered and shaped on the form
to complete the story.
