My textile collages draw on traditions of quilting & fabric arts, traditions which are part of virtually every culture. The vernacular of textiles references community and culture:

• We are part of a “tight knit” family or community
• We are “woven, or stitched, together”
• We are at “loose ends,” we are “unraveling,” we are “fraying or frayed” 
• We are “bursting at the seams”
• We are part of the “fabric” of our family and our community
