Shamelessly dynamic, rhythmic, and methodically crafted, Loring fuses venerated practices and innovative design, manipulating color, shape, and dimension in her appliqued compositions. Loring's design aesthetic is unabashedly bold, kinetic and playful, emerging from bags of scraps abandoned on her porch, or scavenged from flea markets and yard sales. Using various needles and threads on hand-cut felt pieces amplify the visual freshness, enthusiasm and sophisticated naivete trademark in her work that grace many homes throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. This unframed piece, Scrappy 24, consists of hand cut and embroidered appliqued 3-layer disks on a scarlet woolen background with a triple border. It measures 23" x 18".
