This hanging pays homage to my legacy of music, dancing, making and travel, the exploration of joy and connection, given to me by my parents and passed onto my children. This love of community built my friendships with others, particularly the women in my life, who I join with regularly to honour our spirits and the earth. The fringe on the bottom, is evocative of Toran like welcoming door decorations, is made of my handwoven fabric and adorned with jewelry gathered around the world during my exploration of cultures and landscapes. The main background panel was rust dyed with found objects and is bordered with a piece of fabric from Australia. The musical notes were transferred with gel medium and the background was free-motion quilted.
