“Sometimes I ... [start] my image as a painter, making intuitive and accidental marks directly on my embroidery fabric, faster than I can think or evaluate, then [finish] the image as a stitcher, slowly and thoughtfully correcting, adjusting, and clarifying the image and finishing the textile.”
—Renie B. Adams, “Inside Out” in Inside Out, exhibition catalog, Mobilia Gallery, Cambridge, MA, 1996, pp 8-9. |
