Leaves in Transition: Free Fall by Linda Mushka

11 1/2 " x 24"   $350

Our conversation revolved around transitions of becoming older. We agreed that although our bodies were not as reliable, the freedom of aging was not controlled by the expectations of employment and motherhood. The constraints of youth are represented by the hatch we are breaking free from, even as we deteriorate.

Techniques: Rust and handpainted fabric, applique, free motion quilting.
