THE THREAD
‘Every artwork, like every person, comes from historical, familial and cultural legacies. ‘What that means is that...no poem exists within a vacuum, there are always connections’ - Joy Harjo
THE THREAD is a mess of a collection of my tributes, history, context and interests
Ernest Byron Haight
Ernest made puzzles before he made quilts. He especially enjoyed carving interlocking wooden blocks and chains. He translated one of his wood puzzles to fabric to produce his red-and-white “Interlocking Squares” quilt.
connecting to the lost
“Accept our valued friendship
And roll it up in cotton
And think it not illusion
Because so easily gotten."
magdalena abakanowicz
“Art needs somebody to listen to its message, somebody to desire it, somebody to drink it, to use it like wine - otherwise it makes no sense.”
