I MISS YOU SUSAN
Inspiration
Inspired by the religious texts of loss in families, the Bloomfield coverlet made me reflect on the loss of my sister 50 years ago. The quotes I used in my hanging, from Steve Jobs of Apple, are not religious but nevertheless, I have found them inspirational. The ferns, as background images, are used as they imply 'eternal youth', which of course rests solely in my memory of Susan.
Materials and techniques
Commecial cottons and fine cotton lawn
Sun printing with ferns and leaves.
Digital printing
Hand and machine quilting
