Artist Statement: "Trying to Stay Neutral" grew out of my sister-in-law calling me "Switzerland." I try to be a person who stays unbiased in contentious situations, attempting to see all sides of a story and helping others to view things from a different perspective. However, as this piece exhibits, there are spots of "hot red" amongst the neutrals.

Materials & Techniques: Hand-dyed and commercial fabric, printing ink, water-soluble crayons/pencils, textile medium, cotton thread and batting, mono-printed whole cloth with machine-appliqué, accented with hand coloring using water-soluble crayons and pencils with textile medium, machine quilted.

Dimensions: 25"W x 52"H

Photographer: Ginnie Hebert
