I came to fiber/textile work through a long and circuitous path by way of painting, collaging and installations. I had an epiphany and realized that I didn't have to paint that pattern or texture: fabrics could do the work for me. And the selections of possible fabrics was astonishing. I also was able to include text easily which made me happy as I am fill of words.... and I have a LOT to say!

My large scale, text-based fabric constructions are intensely hand-made. They are confrontational and political and funny!
