Textiles from Sharron Hedges’ studio.

Julie Schafler Dale from Art To Wear:

“…While Sharron’s work is ephemeral and fluid, it is also demanding and firm. Her strength is grounded in …years of discipline, technique, evaluation, and determination…Sharron’s most cherished muse is color itself: the subtle optical illusions, the vibrancy achieved through juxtaposing colors, bouncing them off one another…As Sharron moves further away from crochet…what has not changed is the consummate craftsmanship and discipline Sharron brings to all she touches…”

Sharron says: “A few years ago I left my heart in New York City,  but still work in both fiber and pattern design in my new home in North Carolina. Here I’m able to grow gardens, always a passion for me, and they are now inspiring a new way of making art.

I’ve gardened for so many years and always have marvelled at the forms, the color, the life that explodes over and over again, in awe at each sight. And while I never get tired of being able to experience this, I’m really excited to tap into the amazing life of plants in a different way. Ecoprinting has truly given me a great renewal in life, and in art. I am beyond excited to work with this process.”
