Kirstie Faye Nichols, ‘Forget-me-knots in a sea of stitches (for my Father)’, Mixed-media (mostly cotton fabric), July 2007-May 2008.
A hand-stitched quilt made through cathartic process, including clothes from my childhood and my family and friends – the quilt is designed to symbolize mourning and loss, through the community act of sewing and bringing together of people over distance. A safe place.. a haven.
