I've started doing improvisational fabric paintings (known in the vernacular as "quilts").


I like the juxtaposition of different pattern, color and shape, the slight wonkiness of it.


I also like the loose irregular edges, but I am puzzling over how to display these, other than just thumb-tacking them to the wall.

I'm also working on a number of mosaics -a lot of my work right now seems come from the concept of mosaic, that putting together found and collected objects.
