'Forest Reliquary' 2014
Materials: Vintage cotton table cloth, earth pigments, cotton thread, leaf skeletons, deer bones, maple tree samaras, fern spores
Techniques: Earth dyeing, spore printing, hand stitching (furrowing, whipped double running stitch, attachment).
Currently, I am using domestic linens and earth pigments as I explore the biological processes in the Pacific North West rainforest.
I will be teaching a 2-day, weekend workshop on using earth pigments at the Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts 2015 MISSA June 27 - 28 this summer. Do come and join us if you are interested in learning about working with eco-friendly earth pigments and need a little MISSA Magic in your life MISSA
