Winter blizzard warning here, temperatures have dipped to seven below, a good time to stay indoors and think and sew. My solo exhibit Cloaked in Wisdom ends December 31 at the Visions Museum of Textile Art. So, today I am showing some collected details of these pieces, all in wool, hand embroidered and stitched. Each cloak includes a small primitive needle to remind us of our textile legacy, and the women who have stitched before us.
Suggestions for winter reading:
Lark Ascending, by Silas House; A Secret About a Secret, by Peter Spiegelman; Northernmost, by Peter Geye; The It Girl, by Ruth Ware; We Spread, by Iain Reid; Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro; The Night Ship by Jess Kidd and Dinosaurs, by Lydia Millet.
Warmest wishes for a joyful new year, and a shared hope for peace and justice in 2023.
