Artist Statement: In my art quilts I use strong pattern and sensitive color to create compositions with energy, movement and meaning. The layering of a variety of elements offers visual enticement and psychological depth. The circle is often used as a symbol for the soul, wholeness, completion, while the "x" may indicate oppression and that which is forbidden. In this piece, there are three "soul circles" placed horizontally through the center. The one on the left is completely obscured by a printed piece of silk organza; the one on the right is emerging from behind its "mask"; the one in the center, though surrounded by forbidding forces, is clear and intact.

Dimensions: 18" wide x 18" high
