After The Storm

c. 2016, 9 x 12 inches

Unpolished white satin, hand-marbled in a contemporary wave pattern. Heavily embellished with threads. Mounted on canvas with a brown/maroon background, easy for hanging. This piece had some wonderful small dark areas that I added blue and brown threads in machine stitching to add to the sense of a coming storm.

Misfiring Synapses

c. 2012, 17 by 21 inches

Hand-marbled black and red unpolished satin in a variety of patterns. I made a pattern of how I thought a brain cell under stress might look, and this is the result. It's pieced, quilted, and serged. This is a contemporary look at some of the underlying causes of depression. This has been mounted on canvas with a cream fabric background - really stunning.
