40.5”H x 48”W

“In the burned house I am eating breakfast. You understand there is no house, there is no breakfast, yet here I am . . . everything in this house has long been over, kettle and mirror, spoon and bowl  . . . ” After the fire, the structure is a memory. The artifacts of daily life within the structure are a memory. The raging violence of the fire itself is a memory. Nothing remains but the loss. (Quoted text from “Morning in the Burned House,” Margaret Atwood.)

Monotype printing by hand and direct painting with archival acrylic paints. Includes relief printing, resist printing, stencils and direct painting on fabric and upcycled kraft packaging paper. Collage construction and machine stitching and quilting. The entire surface is richly textured with quilting stitching.

Finishing: fabric-bound edges and fabric-backed. The back has a hanging pocket and a rod, for traditional hanging tapestry presentation. Hangs easily on a standard picture hook. All collaging is with archival matte acrylic medium, (which is invisible) and also protects the surface.

This work has been juried into SAQA’s Global Exhibit “Primal Forces: FIRE,” which will premiere at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky August/September, 2025.
