For the first two quilts in the Decay series, I used eco-prints I’d made, focusing on the passage of time in nature and the acceleration of its destruction.

The next two pieces will focus on the human actions responsible for the degradation of what surrounds us: abandonment and the consequences of war.

Once destroyed, homes fall into disrepair, walls crack and everyday objects break. All that’s left are a few charred old papers, testifying to the fact that there was once life here.

Break down printed cotton fabrics, coffee-dyed paper, deli-paper, eco-print, stencilling, collagraph printing on gelli plate for the pots.

Rayon thread and transparent monofilament.
