Several years ago, a picture of wild turkey mushrooms took my breath away. The flow of colors across the petals, the delicacy, the magnificent beauty…they ruminated in my head and demanded to be made when I discovered this way of working with thread. Its morphing into a three dimensional object from strokes of thread beneath my fingers were as thrilling as that very first moment. And, as the techniques used here have become such a basal part of the work I do, our relationship has become classically symbiotic.
