Carolyn Rogers
My work starts with blank canvases, so to speak, blank, white fabrics or fibres. These come to life when I add colours and texture, whether it be by dyeing, printing, or stencilling, or drawing tight stitches of Shibori to give exquisite dimensionality. To complete the picture, the addition of machine or hand stitching.
