International Tapestry Journal cover
March 1999, Vol. 1, No. 4

Artist's Statement:  The source of inspiration for "Remnants of The Dream" lies in my fascination with the collective memory that is recorded in stone:  with the signature of hands as petroglyphs on cliffs and volcanic rocks in the Southwest, or as imprints in Paleolithic caves.  These are hands which molded earthen pots, built megalithic monuments, constructed Anasazi cliff dwellings, mixed pigment to paint murals on cave walls deep within the Earth.  What remains now are but traces of memory, like the fragments of a dream in the stream of time.
