Update 9/23/03: "Fried Circuits Version 1.1" was in the "Internacional de Mini Textil Contemporáneo" Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes Santiago de Chile September-October 2003 Opening Reception, Raiza Sala Director of ARA Gallery & Pilar Tobón President of Women in Textile Art Organization Materials: fabric, computer & electronic components, metallic thread, beads, and screws using Lonni Rossi's The Typographical Elements Collection distributed by Andover Fabrics. Techniques: machine quilting and embroidery, surface designed by burning and waxing the fabrics and the components, embellishment. Statement: The "Fried Circuits" series represents depression. The edges have been burned. The fire within has been blanketed in blacks and browns. There are holes in the memory. Patterns and numbers no longer make sense. It stirs up dark thoughts of disconnection, confusion, loss, and isolation.
