“Blue”
Cotton, metallic threads, pearls, glass beads on antique linen.
Image: 30 inch diameter.
What emerged from a blue time, a pressing-down time and 560 hours of tiny stitches?
Left: Earth, Fire
Right: Water,, Wind
Doves crying at the moon
Flying doves heralding…
And then,
Les hirondelles , les
petite filles d’air—
O swallows, little daughters of the air—
Holding in their beaks pearly omphali
And the new white thread
Circling
Protecting
Containing
Our “blue” planet.
