Created 2016. Mixed media on fabric.

Quilts tell stories, as do these pieces that originate from remnants of my life. Layered with strong linear narratives, they reference wall-hanging tapestries and traditional storytelling. As such, they tell the story of particular phrases I heard as a child, which powerfully impressed me at the time and still resonate. This piece explores the concept of home and it's pull on one's psyche. It features an image of a little house chasing a big bull- trying to make it come home. This was created at her studio at the Goat Farm Arts Center.
