ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"Women Forms," a series of woven vessels, are thoughtful pieces. They reflect my experiences in the world, the cultures and the women I encounter who impact my life. They speak of connections and relationships, the changing roles of women, their shared stories, and the ways in which they live and learn in their worlds.
Some of the "Women Forms" stand alone, either in strength or in sorrow. Others rejoice in the company of other women - daughters, sisters, mothers, friends. They gather strength from their community. Each one is a visual collection of passions and griefs, joys and pains. Her form contains and is shaped by her layers of experience.
My work and travel in Australia and Africa are strong influences. The fabrics, the colors, the cultures, the earth, and the people continue to impact the vessels I create.
I have been making baskets / vessels since 1975. As I grow and mature, so does my work.
