Past and present and future resonate one within the other in a never-ending dance. As we change from moment to moment, informed by past experiences and guided by hopes for the future, where do we sit in the present within this endless motion? I am concerned for the fate of our planet, for Gaia, and for humanity as it tries to navigate the tensions and concerns of everyday life. In my tapestries I raise questions rather than providing answers.
