Smith Women Photo transfers; vintage fabric, lace, beads; embellishments; machine & hand-stitching. C. 2007.
Using sewing skills learned in childhood and bookmaking skills learned as an adult, I devised a home for family photos and memorabilia: a fabric book. Smith Women was created in honor of five generations of women in my family---contains contemporary techniques of transferring photos to fabric, old techniques of quilting and hand-embroidery, and lots of memories.
As a working artist, I am always seeking ways to value the essence of the book as a structure, to experiment with the book as a container of mixed media, to create book-based sculptures and art books that incorporate found objects, recycled items and ephemera with my writing. SKHardee
