Artist Statement: This design is a new variation on a series of sketches I drew in the middle of a sleepless light in 1999. In this complex intertwining design, shapes that begin as negative spaces often become focal points as they snake across the surface of the quilt. The patterned, multicolored, background fabric was painted with dye. I quilted around the bubble patterns with many different colors of thread and then repeated the bubble quilting patterns on some of the solid fabrics. The black background is quilted with many different colors of thread, forming as wavy, checked pattern.
