This is one of three of my newest works that didn't make the cut for Quilt National. This was my favorite.
Depicts a pile of rocks collaged digitally with a journal page. Printed on pre-treated digital canvas. Stitched with several colors of thread for design emphasis. Cut apart & tied with a type of bookbinding knot. Edges finished with paint.

This is my tribute to love of
nature, to bring awareness to our 21st problem of the environmental crisis.
Our tender earth needs our help. Industrial farming is reducing the varieties
of food. Varieties created over centuries. Pesticides are contributing to
disease. Our reliance on petroleum based products, oil, plastics
and Styrofoam, are killing us. When we will take action?
When the earth
remembers?
