about

Did you ever have an imaginary friend?

Creating a quilt, or a pillow, not yet knowing who it’s for. A glove - that fits any hand … but just one at a time … a glove for a weather not yet known.

Can the imagination and the concrete world be friends?

When I am desperate, when I am happy, when I am lazy, when I am clearly doing what I am doing, I forget and reinvent, I remember something or someone that no longer is, I know there must be something beyond what I know …. Imagination is a bridge into the past and future and into unknown realms.

A soft place to land
A new kind of dance
A kaleidoscope

Imagination sweetly fills the absence …
