ARTIST STATEMENT
Angry work, art activism, after too many years of living in a patriarchal world of illegal and legal abortions, in a segregated country where weapons trump women’s health. I started working with textiles over fifty years ago, exhibiting and teaching batik in the U.S. and in Mexico, interspersed with a twenty-year stint teaching art and music in public schools, then experimenting with Shibori into sculptural and installation forms.
