My passion for fiber art and my love of texture has led me to creating portraits using cheesecloth. It brings me such pleasure to meet people who want to collect my work, to enjoy it in their homes. I also enjoy teaching fiber art students how to use my technique to create their own pieces.
Artist's statement: Sculpting a portrait in wet cheesecloth is a slow process, and in the act of creation, I develop a relationship to the figure as I work on the features and contemplate the line of a mouth, a raised eyebrow, creases around the eyes. The positive and negative space created by light and shadow, and how these can be depicted through the contrast of cheesecloth over a dark background, intrigue me.
