Recollection . Betty Jane Lau

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.

Sketches........Can you tell everything I make are reversible? Fleece doesn't unravel.

We drove from Illinois to Mendocino, CA! To prevent my going crazy riding that long...so I brought yarn with me and started crocheting. This is what happens when you sorta go crazy. 'CROCHET CHAKRAS'


The deconstruction of the first one bore many others.  
Like giant dream catchers they caught your...toes.

2006. Fleece for nephew Taylor. In Korea they would call this use of piecing scraps together 'Bojagi'.
