Winged woman

36 1/2" width
35 1/2" length

Commercial and hand-dyed fabric, lace, ribbon, paint. Machine quilted.
Took me so long that I barely have anything left to say about her. She started out as Grief, turned into Angel, and then I finally realized she is a Winged woman. I do love her.

A long time ago I wrote a poem in the voice of Noah, about his daughter who stayed behind to make room for others on the ark. She had wings.
