Title: Ampersand (2014).
Materials and Techniques: Cotton sateen, linen, silk organza, felt. Screen printing with inks and discharge paste, chenille, machine quilting.
Size: 102 x 90 cm.
Comment[1]: Part of an on-going series inspired by the roots of modern communications.
Ampersand is a corruption of the phrase 'and per se,' and is sometimes used as a suffix when reciting the alphabet. The symbol is formed by a ligature of the letters 'e' and 't' from the Latin 'et.'
Unlike many old English characters, the Ampersand has not only survived in common usage, but has also found a new lease of life in computer coding and programming languages - a pleasing evolution for this ancient and elegant symbol.

Title: Ode to the vanishing rural lanscape (2014).
Materials and Techniques: Hand-dyed cotton, linen and tyvek. Machine pieced and quilted.
Size: 120 x 100 cm.
Comment [1]: The gradually changing northern rural landscape has served as an inspiration for this work. Old hay barns in the middle of fields turn grayer until they collapse. Red ochre has traditionally been the color of old cottages and barns.

Title: Yellow Sticks (2014).
Materials and Techniques: Black cotton, silk organza, cotton and linen thread. Freehand writing in wax as a resist (batik) on black cotton, then discharged. Hand stitched with linen and cotton thread.
Size: 112 x 80 cm.
Comment [1]: Yarrow Sticks is a part of an on-going series using my personal interpretation of the 'I Ching.' I've used words for 'Obstruction' to create the lines of a hexagram. The stitching in the center represents scattered thoughts and the yarrow sticks used to consult the 'I Ching.' The ordered bundles of 'sticks' also form the lines of the hexagram.
