Image Statement: It was the last field trip my mother took me on before she died--a trip to a wildlife refuge just south of St. Paul, Minnesota. A stop on the Mississippi Flyway that extends from Canada in the North to the Gulf of Mexico. As I stitched on this piece the moment and memories of such mom-driven field trips surface in my consciousness. A meditation on a moment with my mom.
