"My work process is a debate between myself and my materials. In this give-and-take, I need to be open to my materials, what they will and will not do, how they look when put together. It is a debate that happens until the works are finished."
Mary Cain

Marion Washington, Duluth, Minnesota: "Your web-site is awesome. You are very gifted and the pictures of your works are beyond words. I feel the warmth of the yarn when I visit your site. (I really would like the pictures of your works for my screensavers and wallpaper.) Keep up the good work!"
