"The industry that took too much from the sea died, but below its abandoned buildings life went on as usual, sea creatures flourished as their home became part of an underwater protected area, and the water spirits danced with joy in their realm." This miniature quilt is one of the artist's "spirit quilts," created for her own collection in the spirit of a larger quilt. Colored and toned with overlays of semi-transparent material, netting, and thread. Embellished with embroidery. These spirit quilts are not preliminary studies, but rather encapsulations of a quilt's essence.
