art quilts

I am a builder at heart. The act of creation must be physical: the taking of one raw material, cutting it, shaping it, working it, and fitting it into a structure that grows with each new component, is an essential part of the pleasure of creation for me. I have been as happy making things out of woods as I am when making things with textiles. I need to put a little shoulder into the making of a thing in order to best experience that process of creation.
