Strong Spaces

The three circles honours strong spaces that promote growth, healing, recovery, self-determination, and general optimism. The first part with its embedded silk imagery considers the power of memory and begins the journey along the silk ropes. The 36 beads represent our past and present lives. The second part joined to the first with knitted copper wire shows five places to comtemplate represented by the silk circles - fresh water, green grass, warm sunlight, cool forests, and a copper net canopy. The QR code that goes with this piece links to a page to the artists webside containing inspirational quotes. Finally the silk ropes lead to the third circle joined again with knitted copper wire. This piece has a place of recovery and recuperation where the candles light the way. The nearby silk circles represent candles using thimbles as forms for the silk georgette images that became the candle holders.
