London Journal

       After my workshop with Kaffe Fassett, I had cut fabric left over, and pieces that I had found at the V&A.  I nearly went on a wild goosechase  for pure nostalgia and realized how dangerous our memories can be.  The complexity of history, the complicity that goes into maintaining it and the domestic undoing of those constraints were all amply discussed in the show, but seemed to play out within my own life as well-isn't life amazing.
       My family also felt like wild Canadian Geese let loose in civilization so my triangles flowed out around this quilt taking us to the river as well as Abbey Rd. Studios and beyond.  My sense of the city, the flow of movement and time compressed between monuments.
