A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "avalove is a poet and artist self-publishing her work on fabric. I view my prints as works of art and my body of clothing as the canvas. Poetry inspires the metaphor of the visual images so often the shirts tell stories. Like a drawing in a journal. Or a photograph in a photo album. Marks some kind of place in time mapped out by image. avalove silkscreens oversized nature prints on fabrics, as well as her one of a kind flower dye line- called avalove botanics, dyed by hand with flower petals and barks."
