Since 2002, I have used an industrial zig-zag sewing machine to draw with thread on fabric.
I call what I make "sewn drawings." Because I begin each drawing with a new assortment of commercially printed cloth fragments and another patterned fabric as a ground, drawings can look very different, one from another. Over days and weeks, as I stitch into the scraps of fabric and the patterned ground, doing and re-doing, drawings—and now sewn books as well—take shape under my hands, but not entirely under my control—artifacts of the process.
