Hurricane

I created this piece after Hurricane Sandy in 2012, but it applies to any of the more recent devastating storms as well.  The full title is "Hurricane Sandy Broken Glass."  It occurs to me now that if I create another "Hurricane" piece, it will have a more encompassing title reflecting how much more is broken than just glass.

My Purpose

"My purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset ... to strive, to seek, to find..."

These words are inscribed on the piece with free-motion calligraphy.  The quotation is from one of my most favorite poems, Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson.  It ends with the words, "and not to yield."

I've put a link to the whole poem below for anyone interested:

Cinque Terra

My sister, Nina, and I visited several of the villages of Cinque Terra in Italy.  That visit inspired me to create this fiber scene of the charming hillside towns.  Nina is a painter and I will ask her to share any of her work inspired by the same scenes.
