Performance Center for the Arts

click to enlarge

I just got back from hanging a second piece in Rock Hill's
new Performance Center for the Arts. Here it is flanked
by Katie Medlock, Technology Coordinator for the
Arts Council of York County. Thanks also
to Harriet (and Martin!) Goode for having me again!

The piece is titled "Venezuelan Symphony" and I made
it as a tribute to my beloved homeland. Be sure to click
to enlarge so as to better see the hand-dyed fabrics.
This is one of several works that will be featured in a
spread in the soon-to-be-released book "1000 Artisan Textiles."

Google Earth: Orinoco Delta

The idea for this piece is my own recollection of trips to the
jungle in Venezuela and canoe rides along the Orinoco River;
its waters are clear but the iron ore deposits of the area color
the bottom sand and the surrounding shores.

I made a large piece of felt from scratch using some lovely
Merino wool that I hand-dyed;  other sections were also
hand-dyed using rust shavings.

What We Lose Along the Way

What We Lose Along the Way
51″h by 42w″

My piece "What We Lose Along The Way" now proudly hangs
in the atrium of Rock Hill's new Performance Center for the Arts. 

Thinking back to when as a teen I fantasized about what I would do
in life, who I might become, where I might go, what I might achieve,
led me to put some of those feelings into this piece, not with a sense
of regret but, rather, the realization that letting go of some things
allowed me to achieve others, perhaps unimaginable at the time.

Maps, ideas, years, friends, countries, fears … What have you
lost along the way?
