“In embroidery, there’s just as much undoing as there is doing—plucking and pulling your thread back through the holes you pierced to see where you might have gone off-course, and where you might begin again. Our ancestors once believed the stars themselves were a result of this kind of occurrence, pinpricks of light poked in the fabric of night. The Creator doesn’t make mistakes, but sometimes it’s so damn hard to see the reason.” ReasonGodStarsCreativityCreatorThreadConstellationsAncestorsUndoingEmbroidery Book:Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir Source: Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir
“I embroider these tales with charm and magic because that’s how I experienced them. The trickster is a threshold being, between two realms. One foot planted here, the other beyond. The letter and the spirit.” SpiritMagicExperienceMemoryCharmLetterEmbroideryRealmTrickster Book:Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir Source: Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir
“Embroidery is beautiful not only for what you see, but for all you don’t. From the back, it’s a messy map—absolute chaos, all switchbacks and starts. Knots upon knots, pulled with teeth and pricked fingers. Each one a prayer, on a string.” GodPrayerCreativityChaosCreatorThreadKnotsEmbroideryString Book:Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir Source: Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir
