from the website "EXHIBITORS WERE ASKED TO RESPOND TO THE TITLE OF A PIECE OF WORK OWNED BY THE ATKINSON GALLERY IN SOUTHPORT, UK. THERE WERE ONLY THREE RULES. THEY HAD NOT SEEN THE ORIGINAL PIECE; THEIR WORK IS A5 SIZE; THEIR WORK IS WALL BASED."

I responded to the title of a piece called
"Sunset Glow"

Colours of a Migraine - Migraines can really disable an artist. So many ideas, so little time, deadlines to meet; and then wham! Hours if not days can disappear. I thought I would try to get something positive from all the pounding pain and searing light that comes with my Migraines, so I have captured the colours in this quilt.

To Do Bem? - I wanted to explore the concept of how we see other people. Experiencing another country and getting to know the people closely, can make a big difference in your perspective of the world. I had visited Brazil when I was young which really made an impression on me. Also, our family had a Brazilian girl living with us recently. I was fascinated with the greeting “To Do Bem?” which was always said with such cheerfulness when she spoke with her friends on the phone. I rescued an ancient Brazilian Portuguese dictionary from outdoor shelves at a second-hand bookshop, and the idea was born. I also found Amazonite semi-precious stone chips, an old mother of pearl necklace from a charity shop, a piece of mulberry bark and some sample butterfly batik fabric. Those on top of just the right hand dyed fabric by Marion Barnett have gone together to help others think about learning more about our global community.
