Initiation

by Helen

This quilt was inspired by 'eunoto', an African initiation ceremony where one transitions from youth to adulthood by way of sacred rituals. And it is about the transformation of a dark windowless loft into a wonderful studio in which this quilt was made and its maker felt herself begin to transform from a caterpillar munching on the leaves of other people's instruction and influence into a butterfly artist, taking off for the first time under her own wings. More on the blog.
