This work is part of my series titled "Prairiescape-Remnants" where I gather scraps of art materials to create patchwork prairie scenes. This series was inspired by connections with rural Alberta: my father's recollections of living in a C.P.R. station, across the tracks from six grain elevators, my mom's stitch work and thrifty ways and my love of story. With this series I am interested in the abstract; pushing the envelope from representation.
