ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My fascination with textiles within the changing nature of culture has been gestating during a lifetime of travel. The contrast between the vibrant, energetic Central American huipiles, the sophisticated silk kimonos of the Far East and the Middle Eastern flowing burka and veiled chador offers a rich field for artistic interpretation. I believe there is much to learn from observing the weavings and wearings of women of the world.
My role as an artist is not to make a judgment or reinforce prejudice but to engage the viewer in an appreciation of the mysterious and often indecipherable layers of cultural diversity.
