when asked how she managed to have children and make art she replied "what's the difference?"
When the four kids were all still at home, I made this quilt out of a wool camp blanket and some of their recycled jeans and t-shirts. Three of the children are girls which explains all the pink I guess. It's not a large piece but very heavy and while making it I realized that it was a metaphor for motherhood. It was a heavy, itchy thing yet warm and nurturing and domestic and all that. Have a wonderful birthday handsome dad.
