Round and Round It Goes
54" diameter
Quilting gives voice to the fullness of my thoughts. It allows me to tell a large story. Round and Round It Goes was quilted on a found tablecloth. The piece includes both hand and machine stitching. The scalloped edged cloth is a study of threats to the world; among them are: overpopulation, war, patriotism, economic collapse, pollution, gas fracking, earthquakes, oil spills, radiation leaks, endangered species, ocean acidification, and terrorism.
I want to tell the story of the earth: the way we live on it, treat it, and use it up. It disturbs me.
