2014 Size: 58”h x 72”w Interactions between humankind and water are ancient and meaningful. One early way we captured the power of water was the waterwheel. Adding “flyweights” or “lugs”at the periphery of these wheels smoothed rotary motion and stored energy. Colors and cut shapes in Flywheel Rondo II were selected to give the impression of rotational momentum --- an abstract, dancing water wheel.

Freehand curve cutting - evolving from organic motions of body and hand - is akin to sketching on your cutting table. As I “swept” my arm through several arc shapes, this early black and white fabric sketch accidentally resembled the letter ‘shin’. From it, I started a series of quilts, all incorporating an image of the letter shin.

Shin is a Hebrew letter which begins many poetic words, the Hebrew words for --- peace, inspiration, roots, poetry and song, and, for example, the “shalom” in Yerushalayim or Jerusalem. I remember being astonished and pleased with Leonard Baskin’s 1974 illustrated Haggadah with it’s dancing Hebrew letters.
