| Final Piece, Terry Jarrard-Dimond Workshop, 2012 |

| Construction Detail
I have been musing a fair amount lately, internally and with my studio surface design friends, about the experience at the Crow Barn with Terry Jarrard-Dimond, a full 5 days of freeing up exercises, creating lightning-fast cloth in the wet studio, and thinking about Map as Metaphor.
I was at standing at the cusp of a major life change at the time. AND: Becoming aware of a prior life of rigidity and structure… always doing the "right" thing; lacking artistic experimentation and the freedom to direct one's own life. And accepting the WHY of the past - to move forward to openness.
I need to finish quilting this piece… I see it as a reminder, with a 10,000 foot view, that I then directly chose the path to open up, to play, to look forward and not back, and to also see the enormous influence of water on my life.
It's also interesting --> the ocean is now calling me home.
