Image Statement: Vancouver Island, the rock I live on was scraped bare by moving ice during the last glacial age. A succession of plant and animal life built up the soil enabling us to live on this once bare rock. Linen cloth was placed on a granite bedrock boulder and painted with earth pigment. Responsive stitching highlights the marks left on the cloth.
