About Linda Dunn
I manipulate old and new fabrics, personalizing them with thermofax prints, photo transfers, procion dyes, and breakdown printing. Even the smallest scrap holds promise. I often work back into a finished piece with paint and hand-stitching. While I work, I think about time, fragility, growth and change. I want my work to engage the imagination as well as the eye.
