I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND
Linda Mitchell
Created 2015. 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. I remember this phrase from childhood. It was very powerful to me, but not always true. This was created at my studio at the Goat Farm Arts Center.
