An informal listing of work. Spiraling out from the 'piko'; I weave two quilts that exist as one. Two stories echo, compliment, or debate each other. They are in "syzygy"; forever yoked together. In the tradition of quilts I use thrift store finds, or fabrics gifted to me, or salvaged throw aways; I'm always on the cheap. I question what is considered ugly vs beautiful. And I hope to tease out a story of interest while teasing the eye.

In 2017 after many moves I found my lost fetishes in the Alaska cedar box @ 1977-1997
I was soldering, linking "tattooed" rawhide into a form, when I read the label warning of toxic fumes. I was pregnant. That's when I switched to the traditional cleaner and safer women's art of quilting. 1988
