Art Cloth

For the last Three Decades, my primary creative focus was on Art Cloth. An art form that encompasses many processes, some quite technical, and others more free-flowing. The result of this creative cloth was almost always designated for the female human body. Being a woman myself, my interest lies in wanting something unique to wear and something that had beauty and meaning. The impetus for these creations, however, was my love of process and the challenge of unique self-expression…

In the isolation of the 2020 pandemic, I began to think about the unique characteristics of Beauty, one being that it can touch deeply into the heart, and of the personal comfort I was finding in wrapping a beautiful piece of art cloth around my shoulders and body. Thus, the “PSP” (Personal Spirit Protection) was born, amidst the scariness of rogue germs traveling at rapid speed around the world and the subsequent shortage of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

I bring to you a new collection of PSP scarves created from some of the many Art Cloth Experiments I have been working on in the last 6 years. Some are put together with precious scraps of old kimono and other fabrics loved and saved. Some just stand-alone, while others beg to be layered together. A simple beginning of 12 scarves for your consideration.

Namaste,
