2019, 40”x35”, This quilt deals with the seductive nature of plastic. I want the viewer to be drawn in visually and only later realize that the image is full of plastic bags.

2019, 33”x39”, This piece was the first in this series. The plastic bags only become apparent when you know to look for them. The strong diagonal divisions are the divisions in our ways of viewing plastic. Its use can save trees through less use of paper. It can save fuel use because it weighs less. But we are learning about its damage to our oceans and is difficult to recycle.

2019, 27”x27.5, The split down the middle is the split between the utility of plastic and consciousness of its damage to our planet.

2019, 22”x19”, This piece seductively draws in the viewer in the same way plastic is seductive to use. The seaweed could be a possible replacement material for plastic.

2019, 57.5”x15”, This quilt is a call to be more aware of plastic in our environment. It is a hope by “seeing” we can initiate change.

2019, 38”x61.5”, This quilt at first reads like a color field painting. Step back and there is the jarring realization that the marks on the surface are straws and plastic bottles and bags float in the background.

The pink lines direct the viewer’s eye around the image. At first it looks like an abstract image, but a closer examination reveals actual size bottles, bags and straws.

The images in this quilt are thrown across the surface in the same way we casually dispose of plastics. They swirl in the sea endangering wildlife. At first it appears to be an abstract composition lulling the viewer. Closer inspection reveals printed plastic bags and water bottles. The arresting red marks are representations of straws. To create the piece the fabric is printed on a gelatin plate and then cut up and stitched together. The stitches knit the shapes together and add texture.
