Primary School


Primary School is a stitched collage featuring a free-motion machine sketch of a school girl. The number four looms large as the young girl contemplates moving up to the next grade, or level, in school.
 At about 7 X 7 inches, this small art quilt combines fabric, paint and stitch. The edges of the piece are raw and threads are left attached adding to the unknown and uncertainty of this girl's story. 

Is the story of this schoolgirl happy, peaceful, melancholy, worrisome, fun, joyful, confusing, exciting, all of the above or something else?
