Stolen Quilt

 

Worry seems to swoop in like a dark shadow.
Worry picks and pecks at my thoughts, scratches at my memories,  pulls my feelings to shreds.

"Worrying away at things" is more than a figure of speech.

Why do I brood so incessantly?

Worry is how I incubate new ideas and hatch solutions, 
how I push problems from my nest and see answers take flight.

Side view of Worry Birds

Once I committed myself to participating in the Inside the Dress Project, I begin to worry incessantly about what I was going to make, and how I was going to make it. As I did the exercises that were part of the Project, it became clear to me that worrying was an integral part of my psyche, and I began to wonder if I could portray this attribute in my art work. 

The image of the Worry Bird came to me, and I searched out a few scraps of batik fabric that I had imagined as an ominous bird's head many years ago when I was sewing patchwork triangles for a rather traditional quilt.
