An inspiration born from forced isolation. Spring, the season formally known as a rebirth period. A forced redefining of expectations that I had known for the past seven decades of my life. Over time I realized the necessity of a safe-haven. Where was it? Realizing how much I depended on the outside world, its predictable yet unpredictable nature, to float in from one day and out to the next.
Moving through this space, I called my own yet I knew nothing of it.

強制隔離から生まれたインスピレーション。春、正式には再生期間として知られている季節。私の人生の過去70年間に私が知っていた期待の強制的な再定義。やがて私は安全な避難所の必要性に気づきました。どこにあったの？ある日から次の日に浮かび上がるために、私が外の世界、その予測可能であるが予測不可能な性質にどれほど依存していたかを理解しました。
この空間を移動しながら、私は自分自身に電話をかけましたが、それについては何も知りませんでした。
The layers, the fabric combinations, your stitching – how wonderful!!
Thank you for being part of our group this month. I’m so glad you added the detail photos. It’s fun to go back and forth between looking at the whole and the parts. It really makes me want to see it up close and in person.
Amazingly complex, with surprises everywhere you look. A feast for the eyes and the brain.
Love the richly textured collage quality of this work, thanks for being a part of this!
Such a rich and luscious depiction of life force. I will look at this visual feast again and again and see something new each time. Thank you for adding your voice to our project!
