How fun it is to see someone see My Lady for the first time. I get to see her again, through their eyes. And, I get to share her/our story.
My art goes beyond what you first see; the deeper connection is to feel the power of humankind...resilience - hope- freedom- empowerment - courage and boldness to name a few.
Oh and the energy of the My Lady, is expressed in so many ways. I love the changing emotions. I love that my feelings are often displayed in the fabric.
I also love, that often I don't even grasp what I am creating until it is done or until months/years later.
When they go and hang out at a new venue, I get to see them once again with fresh eyes.
I love My Lady.
I am proud of her.
I love her adventurous nature and how willing she is to be seen.
Yet each time I unroll my fabric bundle of quilts...it is to unfurl my soul.
I am sure there are still remnants and visages of my me that fear to be seen in my entirety. Where my art, my wound and my recovery are all embraced.
As a fiber artist; I am sewn into each piece.
Just as quilts are cut up and rearranged; so am I.
Rearranged into a work of Art.
