These look great! My favorite part is the way the dye works on the raw silk- you're starting to achieve as similar feel to the paper. I know you're not finished with the 2nd one, but I'm interested to know what the whole piece looks like (not cropped). It seems like it needs to have more of a presence, maybe more of a form, even stretched or mounted. . . not loose and breezy and bendy which is what fabric (especially raw silk) naturally does. I hope your quarter finishes up well!!! I’m so glad to see the new work! These look great!

They are just incredible. I really like the idea that you're working with - the harbingers of disease. I think that it's a good progression from your previous disease quilts. Not only that, but I think that the images are more accessible to the general audience rather than the blown-up microscope images. I'm curious to see what you'll do for display too!
