FEVER DREAM

 

Fever Dream

The past several years have been like experiencing a fugue state, combining fear and anxiety with isolation and boredom. I worked through it with fevered print making, using botanical materials close at hand, and by spending many hours hand-stitching hexagons. I combined it all to make a bright, cheerful quilt, because we need beauty and joy in our lives.
