For those of you that were at my last loop gallery show in June/July, I continue to work on my Unity Quilt, which is a collaboration between the public and myself. As a bit of a refresher and for those of you who are familiar with the project and for those of you who are not familiar with this work, I had invited and continue to invite the public at large to contribute their hand written highest 'truths' or those guiding principles that help them achieve their highest potential. I had also created a mixed media installation piece to receive more hand written 'truth offerings' from gallery visitors so that the quilt could continue to grow and circulate beyond loop gallery.
The motif for these blocks, is one that has been repeating itself in my work for the last few years and has come to represent that divine spark that resides in each and everyone of us. Indeed in everything! At the core of the design is the seed of life and surrounding it is a DNA strand.
I have included Fibonacci's number sequences beneath each motif which continues to grow with each individual block that I create. These sequences are included because they seem to draw upon that hidden truth, that all things in nature and indeed the entire universe began with a single point and their very proportions are constantly being repeated everywhere and in everything!
they are very intricate and beautiful, Elizabeth.
