"No More Nightmares," a quilt measuring 78" x 60," shows masks from many cultures, and some invented ones as well. Wearing a mask gives us power that we may not feel in everyday life.
While contemplating this work, my father was slowly dying, "unmasking." He became emaciated and covered with sores. There he is, along the right side of the quilt. To me, this is the most frightening image of all. If we face our fears, do we have no more nightmares?
This quilt will be a part of the Culture Bridge exhibit at Dank Haus, 4740 North Western, Chicago, Il. opening Feb. 20, through March 19, 2016. I will be teaching bookmaking, puppet-making,  and other art classes there on Saturday afternoons coincidental with the exhibit.
