My quilted wall hangings consist of layers of the following techniques: applique, reverse applique, piecing, natural and synthetic dyeing, needle-felting, and a variety of embroidery stitches. There is a balance between hand and machine work. By using mostly second hand materials, the works are in keeping with the quilt tradition of recycling. The pieces are influenced by aerial photography, maps, and satellite imagery, but are not always based on specific places.
