ARTIST STATEMENT
Dyer works in mixed media utilizing maps, collage, photographs, stitching, stenciling, weaving, and paint. She is intrigued with layering, pattern and transparency in her work as well as the traditional feminine work of weaving, embroidery, quilting and appliqué. As a young girl, the introduction to craft and art began with sewing. As an art student, the possibilities in art expanded with the addition of fabric patterns, sewing as line, and paper in place of paint. As a mature artist, the possibilities are endless and a series allows for play and exploration within a fixed parameter of size and materials.
