- Biographical Information
- I am interested in the geometric and rhythmic basis of repeat patterns. This piece is a synthesis of two kinds of structures: the organic form and fluid geometry of quills and the more rigid framework underlying man-made airfoils such as sails and kites. With the help of an N. E. A. crafts project grant, I am presently studying examples of stencils and katazome-dyed textiles in museum collections on the West Coast andin the spring, will travel to Taiwan and Japan to continue this research. The silk in the piece is dyed by measn of the katazome process. (Kuo, 1980)
