I feel awe every day when I look out at the sun glittering on the water and every night when the moon does the same thing. I live in a lonely beauty. Manitou means God. Manitoulin Island is Spirit Island, and this spiritual place is embedded in my stitched art. This work also is based on the ideas of destruction and reparation and more softness. honesty. More humility. Life changes in an ordinary instant. We bleed. My work is done in a rush of slow. It gives me self-healing. I hope that it communicates something to the inner inner of my viewers. This piece arrived for me without too much thinking, in a rush, It came out of an almost erotic inner dreamworld very sensuous and intuitive, and then my hands touched and touched it. I stitched and stitched through the spring throughout the summer and now it is September and all the while i knew it was art and yet it was also something else. A healing cloth. I felt myself becoming whole. inner symbols cosmic circle-heart almost a mandala My work holds the whirl of each day the rush of time the emotions of life I'm just doing the best I can.
