Artist Statement:
"I have been schooled in embroidery from the City and Guilds of London Institute in London, England. While still considering myself an embroiderer, I use many different types of materials to create my fiber art. For the last several years I have been working with manipulating fabrics by pleating, scrunching, shredding, dying and distressing."

"These fabrics are being used sculpturally to portray female figures. They then are embellished with threads, metals, tybek, plastics, papers, etc. By using colors, fibers, materials and stance, these figures show the emotional qualities that I am trying to accomplish."
- Marty Jonas
