Featured Artist: Mary Mortenson

During the eight weeks of 'simply irRESISTible' we'll focus on individual artists here on our blog. Every week, three artists will be featured. Today, we're pleased to introduce to you: Mary Mortenson from Minneapolis, MN.

About the pieces: I am intrigued with resist dyeing and enjoy experimenting with any technique, material or tool that will create patterning on cloth.

Two of these pieces were part of a series done on a plastic cone retrieved from a weaver‘s studio. The conical shape and perforations created complex patterning that was enhanced by wrapping in the opposite direction when over dyeing “Shimmer”.
