Spring 2008
Everything I do creatively is based on my desire to extend the life of something. A tossed out cashmere sweater with a couple of moth holes and soft-from-washing linen calendars are welcomed into my stash of raw materials where they join a melting pot of color, texture and forms. Think of it as a halfway house for textiles where everyone is welcomed and many are saved. Everything I make incorporates vintage or recycled components. I don’t use patterns and never duplicate a design. Even though my designs come from recycled materials, that doesn’t mean less work goes into the finished product. Often more work is required, since each piece has to be taken apart and washed before the new design is created. Recycled. One of a kind. Always.
