Quilted textile portrait of bell hooks. She is made from various hues of purple, with a yellow circle behind her head. A quote from hooks is stitched in the background, and reads: 

β€œDominator culture has tried to keep us all afraid, to make us choose safety instead of risk, sameness instead of diversity. Moving through that fear, finding out what connects us, revelling in our differences; this is the process that brings us closer, that gives us a world of shared values, of meaningful community.”

This is a portrait I made last year of bell hooks. I stitched a quote from her book, Teaching Community, in the background. (Read the alt text to see it in its entirety) Her work is so relevant now (and always).

This piece is all fabric, no paint! 🚫🎨

Second quilt finish of the year. A good dose of color, brightness, and whimsy to bring a little cheer to this time of year.

I have been in a slump. I am ready to get back to creating. It seems silly to post quilting photos at times, but it brings me joy and connects me to so many like minded people.
