bird in digital shibori landscape
digital collage printed on silk, quilted, 18″ x 36″, ©2006

This is one of my new works in my solo show at the Durham Arts Council. The digital collage started with a photograph of hand-dyed shibori cotton. I added the 1’s and 0’s and circles. The photo of the cardinal was taken at a local science museum (the bird is stuffed). Once the digital collage is complete, it’s printed onto silk (with my Epson 2200 and Lyson Cave Paint inks), fused to cotton, backed with batting and back layer, and stitched by machine (and sometimes, hand).
