That time when my favorite neighborhood Birch Tree was blown down, and became a pile of logs.

Blood/Breath

Flow: Blood/Breath

While the River Panels (see under Weavings) indicate how I am located within this wonderland of water, this tapestry represents how this region is embedded within me. The very same lakes and river system is depicted inside the area of my lungs. The enclosing shape can be read as “body” or as “Earth”. But, as I wove this, I realized over and over that this image is highly personal and autobiographical. How I am fractured and how I am mended is all here.
