Artist's Statement
In a world increasingly enthralled with high speed technology and quantity over quality production goals, I find tranquility in time-honoured traditions. Techniques that compel me to savor the process of creating; from the exhilaration of selecting colours and textures to the rhythmic lullaby of stitching by hand.
I admire the artistry, patience, and perseverance of Japanese textile designers. Inspired by their mastery and refinement of beauty, I am intent upon pursuing similar ideals, as I strive to create pieces that are visually stimulating and rich in colour, texture, and harmonious contrasts.
Karen Goetzinger.
