I Guess You Had to Be There

These embroideries and rugs are created with flosses that I naturally dyed. The dyes come from wood shavings, flowers, roots and insects. Many of these plants were grown and foraged in Oklahoma.

The images in this series come from a vintage Polaroid camera; chosen precisely because it doesn’t deliver perfect reproductions. Instead, I get something often flawed, but beautifully tinted and serendipitous. In the case of vintage technologies and plant derived colors, light, weather, temperature, and location all come together to determine the results.
