Circles, found universally, can take on so many different meanings: life cycles, seasons, orbits, or just simple abstract design. Many of the pieces in this series were inspired by the rich colors of Louisiana naturescapes.
These mixed media fiber constructions combine hand-dyed and painted cotton fabrics, fused sheers, metallic and rayon threads, heavily machine embroidered and quilted.
