Ceramics Paperclay
''Needle and Thread and Paperclay''
Doll House. There was briefly a maquette for this first soft sewn sculpture. A small puffy cube made from an old nightgown. It grew a tree form and a house on a hill. It looked like a child’s toy – sewn on a plantation in a distant era.
This toy wanted to be bigger. And a silly serpent wiggled along an edge and rose up by a stockinged foot.

Paperclay has allowed for the creation of entirely soft sewn sculptures transformed into clay and other, often eccentric, sewn forms joined with paperclay bodies.
