| Your Fragile Life, Sky With Many Moons, Cloudy Day and Sunflower Sky solo show at World of Threads Festival |
I make large hand-stitched textiles with abstract imagery. They look like traditional quilts, yet they are self-portraits, and each is a record of the joy and well-being I received from making them. The most tradtional one is Your Fragile Life, where small amounts of artists-dyed old damask linen table cloths are used up as they encircle an inner light. The other three pieces are abstract depictions of the sky a place that we can never go to in reality, but like quiltmaking, encourages reverie. I love my slow and thoughtful process and that the quils I make are steeped in care. Judy Martin
