The rediscovery
of some old photographs of my childhood led me on a journey of
self-recognition. I was able
to learn much about our family dynamics from those photos. In all, I created a suite of four needlepoint embroideries and Blanket:
Wrapped in My Parents' Love. Blanket is done in wool
cross-stitch embroidery on a cotton blanket. I chose
needlepoint as my medium for the other pieces because of its
domestic connotations and its blurry, out-of-focus quality that is like a
memory just beyond reach.
