My work is an exploration of color, pattern, texture and shine. In the late 70’s I began exploring the possibilities of multi-layered warp face weave with very fine rayon - an exploration that continues to this day. I work both in small and large scale weavings. In a warp face weave the weft is not visible, so I can use many different materials which will not be visible except as a shape or texture. My recent work has involved the stuffing and quilting of the weavings to produce three-dimensional work.
