All I really love is the central pinwheel square.
In my work I use the same methods again and again,
but each whirl around the spiral gets me closer to my truth
as I do, undo, re-do
(Louise Bourgeois' mantra)
but it's important also to lose what I think I know now
because in order to create something new it is necessary to enter into the unknown
don't try too hard
go slow (Agnes Martin's mantra)
I try to make cloths that excite my eye and touch my emotions
it seems to take courage

The texture and dimension of your 'dots' brings to my mind Penny Berens' stones. Have you seen them? You may be soul sisters in stitch...
(((Judy))) thank you for sharing these moments of metamorphosis in your work
When life gives you a punch in the stomach, a good quote is the best tonic.
Reminding me that growth happens in the mud. Thanks, Judy.
Margaret - Yes, Penny and I are sisters in stitch - we are having an exhibition this coming summer in Halifax Nova Scotia - entitled Cloth of Time. About our daily practices of stitching.
and Roxanne - yes - both dark and light are needed for growth
and Mo - your constant support amazes and sustains me thank you xx
