Essay:

This work is a fiber work art composition with three layers of different fabrics painted in part to make a picture which is also a small quilt in the modern style. The interpretation and fracture of the blocks of black colour create an uneasy feeling for the viewer consistent with stress. In all my works I mix fabric with painting which I feel represents my artistic language.
