Highlights
Some pictures have a special meaning for me - like my recent work where I'm experimenting with new ideas. Pictures which have been accepted in juried competitions and exhibitions are also special because I hope that they tell me what other people like about my work.
And in more than twenty years of 'patchworking' of course I have my favourites, pictures which 'turned out well' or which marked new departures. or were just extraordinary for some reason.
The very first patchwork piece I ever made. Like the many which followed, it was a bed-spread, something useful. |
The first patchwork piece I made which was to be 'just a picture' from the start. |
One of my first attempts to depict the eternal balancing act of life. |
My favourite Angel. A housewife-angel, pretty tired and worn after many trips between Heaven and Earth. |
Hans Andersen's 'Clumsy Hans' who got his princess and half a kingdom for being both naive and sincere. |
A rare portrait of a man! |
My favourite quilt! And a preliminary study for my biblical 'story rug'. My husband sees it as the 'Ancient Sunlight' of Richard Jefferies. |
The deep blue background radiates calm as Aunt Ada's story unfolds and the living room table becomes comes a field with grazing sheep. |
I used the same blue background in my contribution to SAQA's The Sky is the Limit in 2007. |
A bedspread commissioned by Jytte, who talked about her life, and then gave me a free hand. |
Another commissioned bedspread and one that gave me great satisfaction because of its strange feeling of depth. |
A biblical 'story rug' commissioned by Egaa Church near Aarhus. At two and a half meters square it's one of the biggest pictures I've made. |
