Statement

Dig-it-al!!  Digital Fiber Constructions

       I enjoy photography and the creative processes now afforded by contemporary 

Digital technology. My fascination with photography is finding expression by printing  

 manipulated original photographs directly onto various 

substrates, and specially treated natural fibers. Images are printed with an Epson 

printer to create unique photographic stitched textural constructions. I call this 

work, Digital Fiber. 

My new work continues the creative process in Photoshop by changing 

the actual image, layering and digitally fusing with photographs of my painted 

cloth. When I finish composing an image. I decide on presentation, 

such as a whole cloth photo-art quilt, or divided into multiple images as for my latest 

work or collaged into mixed media art. 

I print the completed photos onto heavy canvas. I either size the work in 

Photoshop and print or I print cutting the resulting photo into sections. These 

are mounted onto heavy stabilizer, felt, or interfacing. Stitched or quilted, leaving the 

edges remain unbound. I seal the edges with gel medium to secure the loose 

threads and finish with a touch of accent paint on the edges. I finish the top with a 

protective UV medium. 

Only after all of this is dried, do I assemble the work using a simple bookbinding method, 

using artist dyed pearl cotton or wax linen threads.
