Martha Decherd

medium: Fiber/Fabric

Artist Statement:

Working with fiber is a sensory experience. Color and texture intrigue me. Each new piece is an adventure as the interplay of yarns produces new and interesting effects. Every step of a project, from planning to preparing the loom through weaving and finishing contributes to create an original, functional piece.
