Bombs have destroyed beautiful neighborhoods where people lived, loved, and played with their children. Sadly, the same patterns are playing out in Israel and Palestine, now. FOR SALE: $3,000

Duel
32" x 26" (Copyright 2017)
White cotton fabric; black, white and red threads; ink; wool batting. Thread sketched, free-motion quilted, hand embroidered. The 1804 duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr took the life of one of our most brilliant founding fathers, and destroyed the career of a vice president and Revolutionary War hero. I remember learning about dueling in elementary school and being in total disbelief about the stupidity of it. Shooting someone in a bizarre social ritual over a disagreement or a slight to one’s honor? Even more shocking is that more than 200 years later, Americans are still shooting each other at record pace, but with far more lethal weapons, and that we seem unable to find any real solutions to the violence.

Cotton fabric, acrylic textile paint, cotton thread, cotton batting. Free-motion machine quilted.
This piece was created for the exhibition “My Personal App,” which debuted at Road to California in January 2015. Quilters invited to participate in this exhibition were asked to create a 36" square quilt that looks like an app icon, representing their personal app. This is based on a photograph of my eye. I believe it is the mind, heart, and eye of the photographer, and not the camera, that makes a good shot. It is learning to see – not just look at things.

This piece celebrates a phenomenon observed in the Great Smoky Mountains where certain species of fireflies (also called lightning bugs) light up and turn off at the same time during a few weeks each summer. This got me thinking about synchronized swimmers, and I decided to make a piece with fireflies that were both synchronous and synchronized.
