“Diminishing Leaves” and “Doorway to Memories”

This quilt shows diminishing leaves as they break down and the many holes and rough edges that the leaves display in nature. I have used skeleton leaves and gelli printing to add color and textures to the surface. I celebrate the wabi sabi aesthetic found in nature. It’s glory is imperfection.

This quilt is titled, “Doorway to Memories”. The door in the quilt below is from El Santuario de Chimaya in New Mexico. It is featured along with some of my grandfather’s writings, an apple tree and quilted leaves with silk and organza to add texture and color.
