The Shape of Things

In clouds there are ships

Rolling across the sky

On undulating cirri

And only minutes later

They transform into doves

And simultaneously drift

And dissolve into the blue

When fabrics are scrunched and immersed in dye baths, the dye concentrates in the folds and creates patterns that resemble clouds, birds, flowers.

You have to use your imagination to see those shapes just like when you watch clouds moving across the sky. But it causes the viewer to look deeper and to wander across the artwork, which is what the artist intends.
