The Art of the Passion - update.

Greetings All,
The Art of the Passion at St Paul Lutheran Church in Frankfort, IN will be closing on the 7th of April and this is a photo of the Station of the Cross exhibit that closed on the 31st of March, but open again on Easter Sunday.  I love this photo because of the lighting and the shadow of the viewer beholding my piece.  I am so very grateful for the opportunity to be able to participate in this venue once more and again.

Happy Easter!

Art Of The Passion - exhibit.

Greetings All,
My latest piece was created for the exhibit "The Art Of The Passion" for the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Frankfort, IN.  I created a piece that honors the 6th Station of the Cross.  

Station 6: Comfort – A stranger courageously offers comfort to Jesus.
Veronica was so moved by the sight of Jesus’ suffering that she courageously moved out of the crowd to wipe the blood and sweat from His face with a towel. She was rewarded when the image of His face was transferred to the towel.
It is a suffering face, disfigured with wounds, yet it is the only image of Himself that Jesus chose to leave with us.
We can bring healing to the scars that hide the beauty of His grace from the world. We can continue to build upon faith and the visible signs of love and compassion.  (Matthew 25:40)

My piece is simple in its construction because I wanted to mainly focus on the message of comfort and I do hope that I have conveyed that.  I used some of my hand dyed cotton, gifted cotton, and Kona cotton.  Simple machine pieced and quilted.

Commemorating His Purple Reign: A Textural Tribute to Prince

March 15 - June 17, 2018

This special exhibition celebrates the life and art of Prince through vibrant and exciting fiber art.  "These quilts are pulsating, vibrating, and alive with Prince's music," says Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, one of the nation's experts in African American quilting and juror for this exhibit.  My contribution to this exhibit is "Paisley Park Under a Cherry Moon".

I finally finished the last in a series of 3 "Keeper of the Cloth".  This one is in yellows, reds, and green.  They measure 50 L x 17 W inches are mixed media of wire, tin, gifted fabric, plastic beads, tin plate, and wood. The is fabric woven onto a wire mesh frame with silhouettes and torn fringe embellishment.  Below are photos of the full view and 2 detail views.  These were labors of love and I am glad for the opportunity to have explored this option.
