"Work begins with blank white or black cloth that I alter with dye, discharge and paint. I work with design software to develop images for printing by digital or traditional methods. My process is weighted to designing and preparing content and cloth before the actual stitching together.

My work is often figurative, starting with photographs I take of real people who are, to me, anonymous. In my imagination and on paper, I create a "character" who I place in a setting and surround with items—props—that define the character or the narrative I envision for the character. I work with images on my computer and then with surface design processes to put everything on cloth." - Linda Colsh
