Description:
Artist’s Statement: “During 2020 we did a lot of this; just sitting and thinking. About the political world, our home and family, the creative world, and our health. This piece started as a self portrait printed on fabric. Additional fabrics were then appliquéd, layered, and woven into and onto the portrait. Texture was added with stitch, and painting helped to merge the fabrics with the photograph so they melded together.”
