The designs I create are based on nature; fronds, leaves, grasses, and light & shadow. I take elements of these images, deconstruct them and reassemble them into novel tessellations. These image fragments are manipulated emphasizing shape and color to explore all the visual possibilities. I ultimately select one design from each of these sketchbooks to print on silk, a fabric with a flowing nature that adapts to the shape it surrounds. The scarves are about the possibilities of light, shape and color, basic ingredients of the visual experience. These scarves also bring a new sense of design possibility to the world of fashion.
