Gloria Patri

There is no top and no bottom, there is only the center.  How to regain the center when equilibrium is lost?  Slow, repetitive, meditative stitching: slow, repetitive, meditative prayer.

This quilt, inspired by the feel of an illuminated manuscript, is designed to capture the feeling of walking in a prayer garden or labyrinth.  It features a central amibigram on the word Gloria, giving it 180 degree rotational symmetry.

2015, 35 x 31, NFS
