"This
painting is part of a series I did entitled Form
and Fabric. I wanted to depict how some women
define themselves by the clothes or fabric that they
wear. Fabric is oftentimes used to express culture,
emotion, mood, social status or other forms of communication
through color, design, texture and pattern. With this
painting I am surmising that some women will cover
their feelings before they cover their bodies.
The
face which is the pathway to peoplešs emotions can
express more then simple body language. The fabric
is in the color red because it is the sign for danger
or "red alert." The intricacy of the fabric
echos that of the emotions."
