wrecked

Everything needs to change
It is difficult to believe that such changes are even possible
but everything has to change
The way we see everything and our role in it

a square within a square, stability and a prayer for earth, contained and safe

There is a pleasure in making the work that comes from touching the material. 
Process is very important in my work.
Sometimes, the process itself is the content of my work.
Giuseppe Penone

cloth of a long marriage

praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy,
and for objects and knowledge curious

red thread

even edging a garment in red has an amuletic power
in some countries, red thread is tied onto anyone in a transitional phase of life

lightly

 

The earth remembers the true path.
May we step lightly so that we can feel the way to proceed.
Lightly.......

I wasn't illustrating ideas

the only art form I could do and also parent was quilt-making
I also painted watercolours of the beauty of motherhood, but I put my rage into the quilts
and as I worked on them the rage transformed from anger or frustration
into love.
It was noticible.
I wasn't illustrating ideas.  I was IN IT.
