A Portrait of Despair

Despair, 2018

This is the second self-portrait in s series. Like “Hope”, it is a study in values and was constructed in the same way, each block individually pieced before being sewn together as in traditional quilt construction.

Hope, a Portrait

This is a study in value. I pieced each of the 108 squares as infividual blocks before sewing them together, in the manner of traditional quilting. Hand-dyed cotton, machine peiced and quilted.
