Body of Work: Management

THE WORK “This art quilt demonstrates the geography of pain through color and line. The fiery red and orange edges show the chronic pain that can immobilize the recipient both emotionally and physically. It forces us to go on journeys we never intended to take. When our bodies defy us, and we drift into the sea where conscious control is not an option, our minds and spirits can sink into despair. The healthy areas – the purples – never know when the pain will invade and alter the colors into heated hues.”
