Sheree Sorrells

Sheree White Sorrells began her career as a rugweaver.  Her textile expertise is exhibited in new works for floor or wall.

Her fabric mosaics are created by weaving fabric strips that are sized into “tiles”.  The tiles are placed according to design and the full piece becomes a canvas for various surface design.  The edges of the pieces are bound for wearability, and finish is applied to both sides of the floorcloth completely sealing the fabric qualities.  These peices are suitable for up to 15 years wear in high traffic locations.  They can be adapted for wall use with less finishing coats and a hanging apparatus.
