All my designs are original. My abstracts are compositions driven by color and movement; my landscapes are based on real or imagined places. I am influenced by travel, nature, archetypes, dream imagery, and music. I rarely begin with a fixed idea in mind. Instead, I play until the fabric tells me what it wants to be. My materials include a variety of fabric types, threads, and yarns; the tactile qualities of fibers appeal to me. Most of my work is hand‐stitched. I layer fabrics by appliqué or piecing, then embellish with embroidery and occasional beadwork and surface design. In addition to contemporary art quilts, I make clergy stoles, processional banners, pipes wrapped with fibers, and knitted and fabric purses. My works are in private and liturgical collections and I show my work at juried art shows throughout Alabama. Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you will support artists and handcrafters wherever you are. You may read about current and upcoming shows on my blog: BarbaraMitchellArtShows.Blogspot.com - Barbara Mitchell |
