Textile Sculpture

'joinery forms'
were what I called my early sculptures

hand stitched from my screen printed cottons
each sculpture (containers) were formal boxes containing
intense colors of interlocking 'blocks' (sewn from fabrics)
based on the art of
Japanese wood joinery in carpentry

these textile pieces grew from my graduate study with
Alma Lesch at the University of Louisville



Toybox for Sean
inspired by one summer day in Central Park 1976
