Dazzle

The Oregon SAQA group is sponsoring a juried exhibit with the theme Blending Poetry and Cloth. We were to create a fiber work which interprets a poem of our choosing. I am pleased to have been selected for this exhibit. This is my piece which I named Dazzle. It was my interpretation of Emily Dickinson's poem Tell All the Truth but Tell It Slant

 Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —

Micro Rhythm

The inspiration for this piece came from the markings on a large stone. I love the natural movement found in natural things. It was a joy to work on from creating the curves to selecting the cloth and colors. Enjoy! And if you can, leave a comment. I would love to hear form you.
