Messy Transitions, 2022
12in x 12in paper quilt square
A handful of fallen tree leaves–redwood, maple, crepe myrtle, lemon, and plum–is laid over a patchwork of tissue colored foil. Screening over the whole composition changes the light and sparkle. A fortuitous discovery of cut silver paper provides a path into the distance, a tree trunk, or a sideways broken vessel, depending on how you see it. Shiny silver leaves (or is it rain?) fall across the surface.

Garden Shadows, 2022
12in x 12in paper quilt square
