IDEA TO PRODUCT
This fabric collage is a commission. It’s a spot a dear friend watches daily.. hourly.. she already knows she is not going to have this spot forever so, she has commissioned me to create its magic for her so that she can carry it with her wherever she is.
She had the idea and together we distilled the love of her place - her vortex - into my hands..
It is a great honor to be asked to make someone’s sit spot.
I have come to also love the life that calls this little creek it’s home.
I am about half way through it and I can hear the chorus frogs sing. I hear the wrens flit and flutter in the early morning light.. I hear the water gurgle after the rain.. I’m anticipating the arrival of the Mississippi Kites..
The product from the idea isn’t just the finished image. It is also all the moments held in the story that unfolds with each new layer.
