"Sown"

H 29" x W 29"

Wax, watercolor,
ricepaper, sewn.
Framed

I have been sewing
and knitting since
I was a child.

Just as the tree
is a centering
in Nature,
so is sewing a centering in life.

This painting
relates to the gifts
Nature has
supplied for us
to live and create;
and like a zipper,
we can chose
to be open or
closed to them.
