Garden Confection

Pat Kroth

This garden was created with my stash of candy wrappers…fabric and thread. “No candy was harmed in the making of this piece!” (Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, candy wrappers, found objects, trapped threads, tulle, machine stitched.)

Garden Hues

Pat Kroth

My garden is sometimes neglected. Fabric and thread helps me create a garden that needs no weeding, watering and is always in bloom. (Hand dyed, hand cut fabrics, improv composition, machine stitched.)

Ragtime

Pat Kroth

Made playfully from recycled and cast-off materials, I explore the notions of need, want, excess and waste. (Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, over-dyed recycled clothing, threads. Improv composition. Machine stitched.)

String Theory Strata

Pat Kroth

I find beauty in the cast-off elements that surround me. Working in an improvisational manner, I play with light, color and movement. (Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, over-dyed recycled clothing, thread yarn, discarded fibers. Machine stitched.)

Turbulence

Pat Kroth

Many things cause turbulence in our lives: the economy, politics, social disparity, health, personal loss, emotional unrest, mental hardships…and the wind. (Machine stitched yarns, threads, fibers. Shaped and stiffened.)

Uncertain Times

Pat Kroth

Danger and caution tape are physical barriers to keep us in/out, safe or in peril. The title refers to an often-used phrase of the last year “These Uncertain Times”. (Plastic caution and construction warning tape, bird-fencing, hand-dyed and commercial fabric. Machine stitched.)
