This piece is the final piece I completed in 2009. I'm now getting ready for a show, so I won't be starting a new piece until February. "Uprooted" was a lot of fun. Two beautiful shirts, one jacquard silk and the other shantung silk, were too large for me and met their demise. They were ripped, frayed and then overlaid in a geometric pattern. All the top pieces were machine quilted in place over a heavy cotton upholstery batting and artist grade canvas. The durability and weight of the background is necessary when adding high relief, 3D forms to the front – especially wire frame forms such as the one from which the root ball is protruding.

You can read more about the creation of the leaves and rootball on my blog: http://www.textileartistmx.com/blog/

Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed creating this piece:)
