A heart so big...
"The act of sewing is a process of emotional repair" ~Louise Bourgeois
This work explores stitching as healing. Last year I decided to participate in the drawing a day, Inktober challenge. I didn't mean for it to turn out like this.... but they emerged anyway... a series of characters and personal motifs shaping themselves into a kind of personal visual language telling stories of self, psyche, depression, anxiety and ... hope.
Reworking each motif through stitching , needle pulling thread... magic begins...
Louise Bourgeois once said , "The act of sewing is a process of emotional repair'` ..ain't that the truth? Needle pulling thread ...stitch by stitch....there she is... a heart so big!
