World of Threads Festival Interview

Insightful interview by Gareth Bate and Dawne Rudman of World of Threads Festival. Stay tuned for more information about the Festival this upcoming November. Two of my pieces were accepted and will part of this great international exhibit.

Disintegration and Repair

textile invitational, warm springs gallery, Charlottesville, Virginia
July 1 - July 31, artist reception friday, july 6, 6 - 8 pm.

"Disintegration and Repair," examines the physical, formal and conceptual aspects of cloth's fragility, its tendency to deteriorate, and the human inclination to rebuild and restore. The exhibit speaks of wear and tear, damaged cast-offs and unwanted remnants as metaphors for the evidence of use and the passage of time. The idea of Disintegration and Repair offers artist and viewer the opportunity to reassess the meaning and value of mending and reuse.

Participating artists: kathryn clark, marguerite gignoux, lotta helleberg, karen henderson, natalia margulis, barbara wisnoski

In print
My work is featured in a new book called Mastering the art of fabric printing and design by Laurie Wisbrun. It is a great book that covers a wide range of techniques and aspects of textile design and printing, and it includes profiles and interviews with many wonderful textile makers from around the world. The first edition is released in the UK. The book will be available in the US in the spring of 2012.
