I generally don't work with such earthy colors, but I wanted to create something that felt grounded and possibly a bit ugly.

My Shibori pieces are an homage to the enduring love for fabric passed down from my mother, and my grandmother, . Introduced to the Shibori technique during my college years, I was captivated by its organic spontaneity.

Thank you to @sherricola.bsky.social for including me in her artpack.

Learning this new format is a learning curve for sure. This detail shows how I use pattern in the background with organic forms on top. I've been on a real blue kick lately. I love how calming it is.
