Ice-Blink
Machine -pieced, hand-dyed and hand-quilted cotton with Dacron
batting.
H: 112mm
W: 124mm
This quilt is about Antarctica
Ice-blink is the pale light in the night sky that showed ships the
presence of ice over the horizon.
The labyrinth is a symbol of discovery and exploration; the physical
exploration of the continent and the scientific work carried out at
present, both in difficult and demanding conditions. The outer curves
refer to the cold saline currents originating from the ice, which
ultimately drive the circulation of the world's currents. The six-sided
form refers to the crystal forms off ice as seen in a snowflake.

Labyrinth
Machine -pieced, hand-dyed and hand-quilted
cotton with Dacron batting.
H: 126mm
W: 105mm
For
me, the labyrinth symbolises exploration and discovery. There are many
paths to self-discovery, but all begin in the heart where the primal
urge to action drives us to our own search - to find our own light.
In the central portion, the beauty of nature, with its
subtle colours and transitions, sheds a calm luminosity.
