I have a long-standing fascination with the streams and
rivers of western Pennsylvania and the surrounding landscapes, to the point
where they literally appear vividly in my dreams. There’s always something new
to discover and appreciate in any season, and the best way to explore and
experience the vibe is to put one foot in front of the other.

Inspired by a move
to Pittsburgh, I’ve been exploring the landscapes of the three rivers. Imagery in
this quilt reflects my thoughts on the past use of the resources of the rivers
by indigenous peoples, changes wrought by industrialization, and
post-industrialization restoration efforts.
Materials used are wool, silk, and mylar fibers; artist-painted and commercial cotton, silk, and wool fabric; embroidery thread, glass seed beads
Techniques include wet process cyanotype/solar dye prints, needlefelting with hand embroidery and beadwork, hand stitched patchwork, stitching
