Recently, I have turned my hands
away from fabric and machine stitch to freeform hand-knitting to create three-dimensional abstract fiber works. Inspired
by large shapes in nature, such as mountain sides and mima mounds, they are studies of serenity and strength. The softness
of the knit structures belies the ruggedness of the hard solids of rocky mountainsides and packed earth of the mounds.
Other pieces are brighter and whimsical, using the media to lighten the emotion.
