Bacteria - Hand dyed, hand printed, hand stitched, & hand woven representing images of bacteria & cancer cells.
Under the Microscope - This hand dyed, hand printed, hand stitched, & hand woven piece was inspired by the word "Palimpsest". Defined as writings which have been erased to leave room for later work, yet traces of the original work remain. I chose to define it as bacteria which grows & can be destroyed, yet leaves a scar, which can be on ongoing process.

Hanging onto Security - This piece was inspired by a "security blanket" of my own. What can be seen as beautiful, meaningful, & a treasure to one, can be garbage to another.
