Quilt Sphinx, 2024, 22"x8"x13"
paper pulp, rice paper, mixed media
Quilt Sphinx blends my paper sculptural work with my admiration for the gloriously powerful and colorful quilts that are made intuitively without a set pattern, each with their own individual essence. Hand-cut rice paper shapes stand in for fabric scraps, while glue replaces the stitches. Although this piece is visually related to much of my other artwork - mostly embroidery - that depicts classical mythological characters and stories set in a contemporary context, Quilt Sphinx stands alone as a joyful expression of form and design.
