| Angel 35" h x 36 1/2" w new and used cottons, rayon, and silk paint, glitter, thread machine appliqué, collage, and quilting |
Here's my Angel. A news photo of an Iraqi woman in a cemetery inspired me. I was taken with her veil and the swirls of fabric billowing among the graves. As I worked, I called the piece Grief; I was thinking sad thoughts. But eventually her wing appeared and my thoughts lifted. Then I saw the painting The Snake Dancer by Indonesian artist Hendra Gunawan (1918-1983). His vibrant curves and colors also inspired me and brought my Angel to life.
