I have been in a committed relationship for twenty five years and we are parting ways. Making large porcelain sculptures has become too physically difficult . Creating smaller forms in clay does not hold any interest for me. The media I use does not define me and I am ready to move on.

I have discovered a new media  that is a good fit  to my sensibility. It is slow and meditative. The piece forms incrementally . Ideas develop as I work. Crochet offers a way to work with pixels of color that is open ended . I have experimented with wool, cotton and silk yarn. Perhaps the direction will narrow or grow larger.  I am excited to see the trajectory over time.

I am learning to create color from natural materials. Colors from nature are harmonious and appealing, never clashing or startling.

The environment of the studio has changed as well. My dye studio is outdoors at my home. My cats, Ivy and Oliver ,can visit  from their catio as I work. I am surrounded by sky and plants. My indoor studio is where I experiment with crochet forms. 

I hope that you will follow along as I venture down this new path. I am anxious to see where it will take me!
