For the Love of Bare Hill began on the Winter Solstice in 2025. Nearly every day, I take a walk in the forest behind my home- which leads me through the Bare Hill Conservation parcel in Putney Vermont. I take 1 photo each day on these walks that feels representative of the atmosphere of the day. I then select 4 colors that predominate in that image, match those colors to fabric, and assemble a small quilt square from those colors. I am curious about the seasonal cycles of the area- and the way color emerges within those cycles. I am curious about how we see, what we see, how we interpret that seeing. I am curious about layers of translation- my phone camera, the computer, the printer, my own eye matching fabric, and on…

 Ultimately- I’m excited to sift through and consider all the collected data- processing all the information visually, with language and conceptually. Resulting in fiber work, kiosk installations, a four volume set of creative essays paired with the visual art and a deeper relationship with the seasonal rhythms of Bare Hill!
