"Organic Shapes VI" is a lovely misty gray green silk charmeuse, with stitching and piecing that create an abstract composition. There is a visual communication between the shapes, colors and value shifts in the hand marbled silk, and the sensitive stitching that brings out the sensual design. I cut it apart, which interrupted the stitching, then stitched it back together in the abstract composition you see here. The completed composition has a serene quality, resulting in a meditative, Zen-like quality.

It is matted and framed with archival materials, without glass. When you watch people looking at textile art, most want to touch it. It is in the nature of textiles to want to touch them. I preserve that quality by rarely using a glass over the piece when I frame my art.

Like a painting, it is reasonably sturdy. It will last for years with a little care. Simply gently dust it once in a while, and hang it out of direct sunlight. It will bring serenity and beauty wherever it is hung.
