I started this piece weeks ago. It was actually the day after I heard that our friend, Ed Gulley had inoperable brain tumors. My reaction to the news, creatively, was to draw. Drawing has always been therapeutic for me.
So I found an old quilt that someone sent me and cut it in half. Then I started drawing. I haven’t worked on it in a while, all the drawing I did in a few days, then I put it aside.
Today I took it out again.
I trimmed the sides and bottom and made a sleeve on the top to hang it from.
Then, instead of adding more, I started to take some of the quilt away.
I used my seam ripper to remove some of the quilting, leaving some pieces of it in place. And rearranging some too.
This is what it looked like when I left my studio this evening. I have no idea what will happen next.
