"Art is an expression of individual insight; if a work merely restates what every eye sees, no matter the skill or time involved, it has missed its reason for being. I am a compulsive people=watcher, enjoying the forms created by people involved in an activity. These forms, stylized and expressing an idea, are the basis of my work. Art doesn’t have to be heavy – a positive reaction to a piece of art is a valid goal. We must be able to laugh at ourselves. Through the medium of soft sculpture I am attempting to express human emotion and humor, using traditional design demands a non-traditional materials – The friendly, familiar softness of fabrics".  Marjorie Graham Trout (photo courtesy of the family)
