hand-dyed fabric, innerfacing, wool yarn, thread 29.75x7.5x5 inches
The sculptures in this series are named for glaciers in Washington State, a memorial to their disappearing. These forms break into three-dimensions, their fabrics dyed using methods of ice dyeing, folding, binding, and printing. Monotypes of sword and bracken ferns, native plants that are survivors of drought and tough conditions, frozen in time with dye on fabric. They are dynamic documents of change over time, sped up in the dye studio. In each artwork stitch is structural and integral. It adds emphasis and embellishment, provides depth and pattern, and connects the fabrication to its traditional uses.
