Jacque Davis

I have had a lifelong love of fiber starting with my Grandmother’s failed attempts to teach me to sew clothing. I could never sew in the pattern lines or get the sleeves sewn in right. Instead, I wanted to play with the scraps and spent my time sewing scraps of fabric together. I was never able to master the art of making clothing but instead learned to love the feel of cloth in my hands and to get in touch with that magic that occurs when my love of cloth and nature meet.

Artist Statement
Every person’s mind builds images while asleep or day dreaming. This language helps us to process and communicate our thoughts and feelings. Even as our dreams are uniquely ours, they have a thread of the everyday world in them. It is this thread that allows us to recognize the common language spoken in dreams. Cloth, paint, and thread provide the perfect tools to capture the evocative nature of the dream world.
Cloth, soft and familiar to us all, provides the foundation. Thread connects the layers and lies visible on the surface, and paint can highlight or shadow an image adding another layer of interest. My art work is a celebration of our connection to one another. When the separateness created by culture, society, and life disappears for a time, together we can rest in a quiet familiar place.
