| This portrait presented itself to me one day
as a sketch which, within three days, was a complete quilt. I don't really believe it
"looks" like me, but it most definitely "feels" like me, at least some
of the time. I often feel the contradictions and dualities that this quilt portrait
expresses within my own life. The left brain/right brain struggle, the sadness/happiness
dichotomy, as expressed by the mouth which is both downturned and upturned, the wife
versus mother, teacher versus artist, mask versus true visage, etc. I believe this is just
one of many portraits I might have made and I have vauge intentions of trying to put
together some of the others which periodically make themselves known. Back
