  Palo Duro Canyon: Fortress Cliff   •  Sue Benner view larger image

Palo Duro Canyon:  Fortress Cliff

BNSF Railway commissioned this work for their collection of landscape art of the Southwest.  Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon system in the United States and is located near Amarillo, Texas.

While my goal is to depict a specific place, I also intend for my landscape work to be deeply rooted in the material.  I compose with fabric not only because of its physical aspects of color and texture, but also for its emotional, humorous, and ironic qualities.

Materials: Dye and paint on cotton, silk, found fabrics

Techniques: Fused collage, machine quilted
