LEAVING CAME EASY – artwork inspired by QUILTING: I wasn’t sure who I was or where home was anymore. Neglecting important relationships, using travel as a distraction and a way to evade responsibility, feeling like I was in pieces, like I had been shedding scraps of myself on the road. A quilt layers cotton batting between cloth, and in rest and reflection, stitches those lost scraps back together, creating something beautiful made for comfort and warmth.
