Artist Statement: This set of banners is part of a series featuring central circles and aiming to create a sense of calm—of "zen" if you will—which explains why this is hand-quilted. The circles here can be read as portholes, dinner plates, or planets, among other interpretations that the viewer brings to the experience.

Materials & Techniques: Commercial printed cotton fabrics, cotton batting, cotton & polyester threads, pictured here hanging from lacquered bamboo pole. Machine pieced; hand quilted.

Dimensions: 40"W (overall) x 36"H
