2022 16”x 16”

Artist Statement: I admired Roberta Jamison’s calico quilt (an historical image from the International Quilt Museum’s collection). It is an original take on the sunflower, completely hand-worked. Her hands and eye give us both variety and pattern. My variations on the fabric colors result in a new sunflower dedicated to Ukraine.

(Fundraiser for Ukraine humanitarian aid.)

On March 23rd this year, the Ever Given container ship got wedged into the East bank of the Suez Canal. It remained blocking Marine traffic for 4 or more days (still counting), with dozens of ships stuck at both the north and south entrances to the shortest route between Asia and Africa. One of the world's largest cargo vessels,, presumably driven by high sandstorm winds, the poor visibility and the enormous size of the ship caused it to slew sideways and block the width of the canal.
