I created Anemone using the same technique I developed in Sun Wobbles, pushed quite a bit further. I sought to understand the limits of the fabric’s flexibility, and the graphic possibilities when using a single, high-contrast fabric. The resulting quilt is very full, very noisy, almost difficult to look at. The strobing of the white and black lines make difficult to understand the underlying pattern through the visual cacophony.

I take pleasure in creating things that are difficult to look at, that play tricks on the eyes. As a person who gets migraines, visual strobing is a common phenomenon in my life, so there is an intimacy in sharing that experience with viewers.
