In the intricate fabric of life, much remains unseen. "was amazing" explores the human need to sometimes retreat and find solace in the hidden. This original mixed media artwork combines found objects, delicate thread, and paper to create a captivating abstract composition.

Old book pages form the base, their beige hues providing a warm foundation for the artist's subtle interventions. The piece incorporates elements of collage, with sewn thread adding texture and visual interest. Hints of red peek through, injecting a touch of unexpected color into the otherwise minimal design. The artist uses thread, found objects, and cotton paper that is part of the artist's collection to create this contemporary artwork. The artwork is 16.5 x 11.5" in a white-wash ash wood frame.

This artwork is a beautiful addition to any space. It's perfect for adding a touch of understated elegance to a study, bedroom, or living room.

Bring a piece of quiet reflection into your home. Add this unique, sewn collage to your collection today.

Meet the Creator
Wescover creator since 2023
I like to challenge traditional ways of working and adhering to a singular media. I use various techniques and materials; painting, printmaking, sewing, collage, video, installation, and book arts to reconcile my perceived experience of chaos as intuition; uncertainty and coincidence as order, clarity, harmony, and connection. Through making art I experience disorganization and coherence repeatedly and delightedly - a process that has engaged me for 40-plus years. I have shown regionally for the past 20 years and the residencies, such as the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, New Mexico (1998 and 2008) have challenged my process and provided venus to connect to communities. Show include; monotypes and paintings at the AVA Gallery, Lebanon; installations and collaborative installations at the Flynndog, Burlington; and prints and hair drawings at Burlington City Arts. Residencies include Vermont Studio Week at the Vermont Studio Center in 2018, and a six-month residency at New City Galerie in 2015. Grants awarded include; a Development Grant from the Vermont Arts Council, 2009 to learn letterpress printing; a Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council, 2004 to help fund a collaborative video project with Jane Honer and Karen McGregor; Kittredge Foundation Grant, 2002 to learn more printmaking.
