Title: South Bay
Dimensions: 29.75" w x 29" h
Artist Statement: This is the view of the southernmost part of San Francisco Bay. What appears to be fields of farmland are actually salt ponds, basins of highly salinated water for industrial salt production. These ponds occupy the space where essential wetlands once thrived. My hope is to interest people in restoring these wetlands through the beauty of my artwork.
Materials and Techniques: Silk crepe de chine hand painted using acid dyes and gutta-serti. Silk broadcloth backing and polyester batting; machine quilted with rayon embroidery thread.
