What We Lose Along the Way
51″h by 42w″

My piece "What We Lose Along The Way" now proudly hangs
in the atrium of Rock Hill's new Performance Center for the Arts. 

Thinking back to when as a teen I fantasized about what I would do
in life, who I might become, where I might go, what I might achieve,
led me to put some of those feelings into this piece, not with a sense
of regret but, rather, the realization that letting go of some things
allowed me to achieve others, perhaps unimaginable at the time.

Maps, ideas, years, friends, countries, fears … What have you
lost along the way?

On tour with the Mancuso Brothers’ exhibits throughout 2010.

This piece showcases illustrations drawn directly onto the fabric,
screen printing, and all-over free-motion stitching that echoes
and complements the drawings. The bound border is also hand-painted.
