With ‘Color Cards’ (brazilwood in the image), Mildred records the possible nuances that can be derived from a single dye material through different modifiers and mordanting processes. Delicate embroidery and patchwork make her approach both technical and artistic.

Con Cartas de Color, (palo brasil en la imagen) Mildred deja un registro de las posibles matizes que pueden derivar de una misma materia tintorea por medio de modificadores y procesos de mordentado. El delicado bordado y el patchwork hacen de su aproximación una cuestión a la vez técnica y artística.
