Image Statement: Whether is a silk and cotton quilt referencing the water table and cycles of regeneration. Black drips at the top left signify trouble on the horizon. Arrows flow up from the ground, where a skull is buried, sprouting flowers. The quilt features a pieced, curved background with hand-cut fused appliqués, and is quilted using a hand-guided free motion technique.
