Artist Statement
Leah Evans' fiber work is inspired by maps, geomorphology, satellite imagery, and aerial photography. Themes address land and water use with an environmental history approach. Techniques include natural and synthetic dyeing, applique, repurposing materials, reverse applique, piecing, and a variety of hand embroidery stitches. All design, machine work, and hand work is done by the artist without the aid of a computer or programmable sewing machine.
