Equus Divise
While rummaging in a second hand store, I found a Middle Eastern doll. While looking it over, I remembered my former collection of dolls once featuring a shadow puppet from Thailand. Shadows and outlines were on my mind as I started sketching for a quilt inspired by the Virgin Mary detailed with the sun's reflective rays and my newly found fascination with horses. I was determined to fit all of it together: Mary with a one hundred horse retinue all in fabric exquisitely quilted. I started one by one with sketching impressions of horses then out on-site to pastures near by my home. All this to build a cache of applique templates. Mid spring 2011 I got side tracked and started working collages building into mixed media efforts. The small items are 7" by 10" while the larger works are roughly 8" by 14". This edition is not for sale.
