On the back cover, Jane Dunnewold writes, I am self-taught. I am especially interested in writing and making as integral aspects of the creative process. Works begin as white silk and are transformed through dyeing, painting, drawing, and screen-printing with sand. I seek a whole larger than the sum of the parts and am currently intent on discovering what it takes for a visual surface to be perceived as poetic. I write about the creative process at existentialneighborhood.blogspot.com, and authored Art Cloth: A Guide to Surface Design on Fabric (Interweave 2010). I maintain Art Cloth Studios in San Antonio, Texas, and teach a dozen workshops a year. My website is complexcloth.com. Cover: Meditation One; the writing reads: Live in present time. / Seek only the Truth. / Surrender your will to God. / Love is the only true power. / Honor thyself. /Honor one another. / All is One. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
