"To the Center" Wall Quilt

68.5 x 58.5 cm

custom designed & commercially printed cotton fabric,  acrylic paint

A vibrational journey inward, calling us back to our core. This movement is natural but avoided in a culture that moves at lightning speed. Can we heed the call of this message, to move inward? Can we be free like the crow to let instinct be our guide?

This piece was created for the exhibit "Symbols of Transformation" at the Outlet Gallery in Port Coquitlam in September 2021.
