Introducing Stephanie Novatski. Her
piece above, "Red Squared" won a design contest at the *Caron
Collection website.
"With a skill akin to a magician's sleight of hand, Stephanie created
a work that emanates a sense of illusion and mystique. Measuring only
6½" x 6½" her composition projects incredible dimension
and motion, the various stitches and geometric forms playing off each
other. Like a multi-faceted gem, each jewel like layer appears to be
superimposed upon another. It is stunning in it's connotation of depth
combined with fluidity. The puzzle like quality engages you, each interlocking
piece moving seamlesslly into the next and each component integral to
the design as a whole.
The pattern is composed of different sized squares layered concentrically
and diagonally, each square individually defined with black border stitching,
which Stephanie chose because of its dramatic contrast to the bright
overdyed threads that make up the main design features. This piece is
a counted thread design and reflects Stephanie's love of mathematics."
