Can’t Thread the Needle
acrylic and graphite on canvas
The roots of my work can be traced to my academic studies in Fiber Art. Contemporary women icons studied were Sheila Hicks, Olga de Amarel, Lenore Tawney, Claire Zeisler and Adela Akers just to name a few. There were very few men making their mark with fiber as historically it was “women’s work”. Relegated to “craft” rather than “fine art” further denigrated this art form.
ABSTRACTION was and still is a key component in the Fiber Arts. These explorations of form, texture, pattern and color is my life-long study and practice. It was a natural progression for me to continue to investigate these qualities of abstraction when I pivoted from fiber to paint and canvas.
This piece is part of a new body of work applying my deep roots to fiber to abstract painting.
