Glimpses of the Dark Angel


When I saw the call for "I'm Not Crazy," I knew I had to create a piece. I won't know until June 27th if my work was accepted. It doesn't matter if it is accepted or not. This piece has been waiting to be made for a long time. I call it "Glimpses of the Dark Angel." It's 23.5" w by 31" h.  The toughest part was writing an artist statement that could not exceed 25 words. I'm a concise writer but this was tough.

"Thomas Mann said that depression had its own angel with unique insights and a special vision. It took me thirty years to embrace his wisdom."

 I am really happy with this piece and how I took something inside my head and made it reality.

Promise to review the incredible Judy's Challenge Fabric quilts soon. I am waiting on photographs. You won't be disappointed!
