"Prayers Not Just For the ones who Kneel," Sip Coffeehouse, Chicago, July 31, 2015
Evoking the Tibetan prayer flags which inspired
them, this grouping of five panels sends prayers of compassion and peace into
the universe as the wind stirs the fabrics into movement.
Four panels are made from hand-dyed linen, cotton,
and silk vintage textiles that belonged to my mother and grandmothers.
The fifth and central panel, "Selves and
other Icons," is made of hand stitched batik fabrics which depict images
we hold of ourselves and others, real and imagined, and the power within each
of us to transform ourselves and our world.
