Cosmic Communication

An interesting visitor to my recent solo exhibition looked around at my work and asked, "Are you aware of intergalactic communication?" I had never considered that possibility but listening to her I began to imagine that artistic ideas may come from the Cosmos!

Everything is so much more complex than it seems at first. Microscopes are one way to see a hidden world. When I work for many weeks to create something beautiful, I enter a hidden world of my own.

On the 11th of March, 2011, Fukushima and much of northeast Honshu was devastated by the chaos of a 9.0 earthquake offshore. Eleven 3 Eleven is meant to honor those who were lost and those whose lives and homes were forever changed on that day.

Recalling Fukushima two years later, I realized that while remembering those no longer with us, we must relish all the good days that we have.

I got a bit silly with the edge of this piece by adding some felt balls I made and decided I liked it.  Cotton candy is silly too, but fun and delicious anyway. That’s at least some kind of endorsement for my choices on this quilt.

With this quilt I decided to expand the edges and let the shape of the design go beyond the usual rectangle. Berry trifle can make my own “edges” expand as well!
