"We Are All Branches Of The Same Tree". Just completed and will be submitted for acceptance into a show called "Global Murmurs" (http://experiencefiberart.com/) in Rochester, NY later this year. The prospectus statement says "Global Murmurs invites you to explore the subtle and ever present concerns, joys and curiosities of humankind so often influenced by cultural and national boundaries. It is an expression of the hopes, dreams and despairs of our global community; perhaps a pathway to better understanding. " I saw this quote and it rang true for me as we are facing so much divisiveness right now....why can't we all just get along? Since I love to do birch trees this was an easy subject to ponder. The trees are made of 4 different fabrics and quilted for texture with variegated threads. The background - which was the hardest part.....is all branches, depicting the many millions of us represented in the two stronger branches, of different colors.

When and where in Rochester will this show be? I've got a friend living in Webster, and I'm sure she would love to see this show.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, The show will be the month of October, downtown Rochester in two different locations. If your friend is from Webster, she may also know some of the curators or jurors. Does she belong to a guild in the area?
