Of utmost importance to my aesthetic is the unearthing of found fabrics, paper, beads, sticks, rocks, rusty stuff found in the desert, on the street and anywhere else one stumbles upon the detritus of human activity for reuse, repurposing, and reshaping into whatever captures my fancy at any given moment. Having fun combining all of these elements along with color andpattern gives me such great pleasure in making things. –Donna Monroe
