Description:
Artist’s Statement: "This majestic Sumatran Tiger is one of 400 critically endangered animals remaining in the wild. I hope to honor and share his beauty through this quilt. My technique is a micro-collaged and fused fabric for realistic expression. Frayed-edge fabric enhances the water texture, suggesting movement. From a distance, the tiger seems real, but upon close inspection, the exclusive use of fabric is evident. The tiger is enticing you into the water…how can you resist?"
