In Life We Look Through Many Windows, 2015
40 x 30 inches
Hand Dyed and Commercial Fabrics.
Statement
This work makes use of a hand painted silk background covered with numerous faced ovals using both hand dyed and commercial fabrics. The piece is machine quilted and stitched. The concept for this work comes from my having to make many decisions in recent years over where to live, whether to retire, and reinventing myself as a single person after the loss of my husband. The windows are our many choices as we are always hoping that we choose the right one when faced with unlimited possibilities.
