A nebula is an enormous cloud of dust and gas occupying the space between stars and acting as a nursery for new stars. The roots of the word come from Latin nebula, which means a “mist, vapor, fog, smoke, exhalation.” Nebulae are made up of dust, basic elements such as hydrogen and other ionized gases.

My Nebula series is composed of small squares of handspun hand woven linen that I manipulate with cyanotype, embroidery and sometimes indigo dips. My work is often driven by metaphors, dreams and persistent images. Here the circle, spiral, and line return again – referencing a nebula, gaseous cloud that lives between stars – an amorphous space where new stars begin.
