Image Statement: This spiraling color study was inspired by fractal designs. Petal shapes, which ombre from light to dark, were cut from colored rectangles that were digitally painted and sized to each template. Bud shapes were pieced and appliqued in contrasting colors. The background fabrics are from my “Color Flow” collection for Benartex, and they also gradate through the spectrum, with the same green in opposite corners.
