"Map of Quiet Paths" is created using the process of "joomchi," a Korean felting technique fusing layers of paper, using only water and manual manipulation. It breaks down the fibers and reconnects them into a very strong and fabric-like textured paper. I used it as a base for some thread work and painted highlights. Image is 11 x 14" and 18 x 22" with mat and wood frame.

Paint, splash, tear, dye, wrap, outline, sew, draw, assemble, cut, spray, glue, join, stretch, rip, repeat. Texture and color vie for leading roles in Sally’s art. A passion for surface design inspires her fiber explorations creating fabric collages and mixed-media wall hangings. Her daily tools: brilliant hand-dyed
cottons and silks, mangled yarns, threads of all colors, twisted and sewn.
As a Fine Arts graduate of Cooper Union in New York City, Sally worked as a graphic designer and art director in publications at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Using dyed and painted fabrics, her
work addresses subjects through color, texture, line, pattern and typography. A full-time Floridian since 2015, residing in Fort Myers, Sally finds that the vegetation and wildlife here provide a vast amount of inspiration. She has received many awards, has shown work nationally, and has curated fiber arts exhibits.
