Artist statement: "Intertwined" refers to the illusion of a woven pattern, but also the intermingling of past and up-to-the-minute influences, as return to the basic block and structural grid of traditional quilts combines with the innovation of improvisational curved piecing and decorative stitching. This piece was created using hand-dyed cottons and a single commercial striped fabric. A free motion "connection stitch" in rayon threads echoes the blocks and lines, and also mimics the miniaturized technology that helps us interconnect to create the social fabric of our lives.
