I have loved sand dollars since finding my very first incredibly fragile, bleached white skeleton above the high tide line at Summercloud Bay, Jervis Bay, NSW. It seems amazing that something so fragile could survive in fossil form.

The Earthskin series
Animals and plants once living are laid down as rock to give us evidence of this country's past history. I am interested in patterning in ways that are not usually accessed by quiltmakers. All fossils used in the work are Australian. For the Twist Exhibition, curated by Dijanne Cevaal, 2001.
