From the Artist: Night Swarm is part of a movement toward more "expression" in my work. While formal design concerns are still important to me, "prettiness" is less so. Working with tie-dyed fabrics has moved me away from total control and calculation into a realm in which I am much less self-assured, that of partial chaos. I find myself responding on an emotional level.
