Local plants inspired this piece. I find the hidden tannins and pigments within foliage offer beautiful and sometimes mysterious marks on fabric. I am interested in the plants that have been growing in this place for far longer than the human settlers who dominate the landscape now. The Garry oak, the thimbleberry, the trailing blackberry and other plants, produce strong eco prints - tangible evidence of their resilience, secret potency, and ancient, inner vitality.

Eco printed cotton fabric, embroidery thread, yarn, glass, shell and wooden beads, sections of lace, fragments of music sheets, buttons. This piece is a scroll constructed with five 4" by 6" sections.
