About the Item

Rising Collection, combines two key elements of my process --- my signature use of needlepoint, plus, mixing powdered pigments, gesso, and marble dust to create my own colors. These elements have been part of my style for some time. The use of these two physical processes is a homage to the art historical tradition of mixing paint and to the use of textiles, usually associated with women, throughout the history of craft. In the Rising Collection, after several layers of paint are applied, I cut a hole into the canvas. I then use hemp cord to suture the needlepoint through this hole. I use the word “suture” because it symbolizes physical and emotional repair to me. Once the needlepoint is attached, I apply a clear resin to preserve the needlepoint. A trestle framework of thread connects the two distinct surfaces. Smooth vs. rough; one color vs. many colors; and flat vs. shiny, all remain in high contrast. The use of opposites is instrumental to my narrative. I am questioning if art can be a healing, unifying process, not only for myself, but also for those who experience the work.
