Time

Sometimes, I ask myself, do I feel that time is LOST when I use so much of it to stitch?  Or, do I think that time is saved?  Answer:  When I am lucky enough to spend an entire day with stitching, I never feel that time has been lost.

Time is my main material.

Shown: the back of Cross My Heart when I just started it.  The front is a grid of overdyed linen squares layered on a piece of dyed velvet.
I remember debating about which side I preferred.   The finished front here.

    this Other Side....has so much
    SPACE
    to float and breathe

    is a perfect image for me of Life...how we think it's all the Front, but
    the Back is maybe where it's At
    and also always There too...we can go there

    thank you for these comments.

    This piece brings back so many memories, especially when I look at the back. So much was happening around me when I was starting this piece and the stitching holds that time.
