I designed this quilt while experiencing the mandated social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic. Though it seems major as we experience it, in the years to come this Covid-19 event will be just another blip on our radar, like other natural and man-made crises. We will adapt and adjust as people have been doing for centuries.

To add depth and enhance the floating feeling, I use a painterly technique of different fabrics, textures and fibers. I want the viewer to pause, ponder, and reflect on how this piece speaks to them in their current situation.

This quilt features batiks, commercial fabrics, hand dyed lace, and Derwent Inktense pencils. Machine quilted.
