Winner of Award For The Most Innovative Use of the Medium, sponsored by Friends of Fiber Art International

100% cotton surface embellished with digitally developed and printed images using Photoshop and CAD software and a Mimaki textile printer; machine pieced and quilted.

A 1949 photograph taken by my father when I was five months old and an essay by Freud on the mystery of infantile amnesia were the triggers for this quilt. The child's neurological immaturity would seem to prevent the "reading" of visual patterns, such as the genteel floral wallpaper of that first room, but can we be sure? While I don't have any memories of that first bedroom, that fascination has deeply embedded roots.
