I wove twelve separate sections from old Levi's and Wrangler jeans, then wove them together, attached the weaving to a wooden frame, then worked in layers of paint, latex, plaster, acrylic and ink. I thought of fading, symbol erosion, unraveling, destruction and rebuilding, and love and hope, of course, when I worked on this piece. Not sure whether it's a painting or a sculpture, certainly not a weaving anymore, but an independent creature, exploring all the facets of its being. Soft bits and unraveled threads co-exist with hardened material inviting acceptance and inclusion. A striking piece, it has an amazing presence.

But in the end, or in the beginning, it's all about love. I explore painting as a connection to our human vulnerability, of which love is its ultimate manifestation.
