Works in Fiber _______________________________ Trained as a landscape architect, my acts of design have always been about “surfaces.”  In the past, earth, plants, brick and stone were my materials; now cloth, fiber, and colorants.  Laminated felting in particular has mediated well between my past and present sensibilities.   Through the play of fused and embedded materials - drawn up, blistered, buckled, cut and undulating- visions of the alien and the familiar are rendered…  and they all invariably contain some reference to landscape, from the vast and distant landforms viewed from high above the earth’s skin, to the mossy or lichenous “terrain” of a rock or tree trunk.  These new forms invite further “excavation”/ exploration.   -Kathy Colt
