The gloves (hands) are reaching and searching for both questions and answers about race, the environment, and the human psyche.  My quilts are highly embellished with beads, buttons, and paint to enhance the narrative with a unique and personal texture.

“The glove is a mask, the facade that hides the fingerprint, a shield for the vulnerable palm; whether in leather, cotton, or silk, it also is an index of lifestyle.”
