Jetty Suite

In the "Connecting Threads" exhibition I followed a path to which I am increasingly drawn, of showing both textiles and photographic images. Usually the relationship is subtle, but in this instance they spoke more directly to each other.

The photographic images show old and weathered surfaces,

so it seemed appropriate to use old recycled blankets as the base for the related textiles.

Look for the photographic partner to this piece in my next post, when I talk about my source of inspiration.
