"There You Go" was created in the aftermath of the loss of a dear friend.

Rather than weaving a shroud, I wove this tribute and farewell blessing.

In many cultures the image of a bird is aligned with that of one's soul.

Here, the bird is lifting off with a gentle loving hand gesture from a human figure.

The human figure is a silhouette filled with stitches, not quite solid, not quite empty.... in transition from one form to another.

The lower half of the piece is three dimensional pleats woven with a golden thread.
