This past week, I had the great opportunity to meet an up and coming artist, Victoria Greising.  Her work stays within the tenants of art that we can talk about, line, color and composition but it challenges the way in which we understand it.  Tori works with used clothing to paint with fabric.  

As someone who adores fabric, and can spend hours in the fabric store, this concept is really fascinating.  Her work uses old discarded fabric, so that each piece is not the beginning of a story, but part of a story.  Each piece of fabric has a history of its own, as a t-shirt or bed sheet and she connects these pieces and people together through her unique medium.  

I had the opportunity to chat and get to know her, and it was truly a blessing.  I'm not sure what I'll do with the inspiration she has given me but I will keep you posted.  For now, check out this piece she created and her website!
