Artist Reply: Thank you for appreciating my collaboration with my husband Charlie as we choose fabrics that work so well for his gifts that some may think is an unusual avoaction for a man interested in sewing. Art has no gender preference. The sewing arts in this day of computers and digitally manipulated imagery is a dying art form. We complement each other with our asthetic appreciation of color texture and composition with the added bonus of my choosing where to shoot to create abstracts with vibrant color that I know you also use in your work. Reinventing the images has been great fun given the basic tools I use to enhance his fabric montages. I love the small nuances that I also perceive with my mind's eye in my photography. At the bottom, I noted that a sprout from the garden had crossed the boundaries as it grew into the other panel. I love imagining various interpretations of imagery. In reality the fabric had a small image of a firefly and seeing that compelled me to want to shoot that small panel of this duvet. You work with vivid colors is amazing. I am not surprised that you choose this piece to comment on. It is deeply appreciated!!
