This piece was on show in the exhibition Ground Cover: Contemporary Quilts at the OWCC Arts Center Galleries Niceville Florida USA March 2 - April 19 2001 and at the Florida Craftsman Inc. St. Petersburg May 4 - June 22 2001.

Laminating works are a new direction for me. I collect natural material from my local environment such as these petals press them and laminate them to squares of pre-coloured fabric. I deliberately choose a similar colour to that of the petal being laminated so that both the fabric and the natural object merge together. I then assemble these units into colour studies stitching them into quilt like hangings. I feel that these works feed my other 'water reflections' series in the way that they help me to tune into and heighten my colour sense.
