These colorful and vibrant works of art are inspired by African and Mayan design, combined with European needle-craft technique, and a painterly eye. From wearable garments such as tops, scarfs, shawls, and dresses, to wall art, throws and rugs, each piece is improvised in response to the textures and colors of the recycled fibers.

Recycling is second nature to Nancy Garniez, dating from her wartime childhood when everything was used twice, from cooking grease returned to the butcher, to her father's old shirts which her mother fashioned into infant clothing.

There will be no more of these one-of-a-kind creations: Nancy's fascination with color and texture has given way to renewed concentration on the piano. A succession of miracles has permitted her, since the age of 82, to play as never before, now in the company of Artie Dibble, violin/viola; and Dave Eggar, cello: The Tonal Refraction Ensemble.
