My Granny taught me almost everything I know about embroidery techniques. I noticed, while playing around with french knots one day, a similarlity between their texture and that of particular parts of the body. Among other things, I was thinking about Salome and the dance of the seven veils when I started the veiled paintings - the idea of a partially hidden image or an image which is changed by what comes between the viewer and the object. Also I am interested in 3D/2D issues - how we look at 2D images. Do we look at the surface or through the surface? Does a veil change how we look?
