Inspired to enter a CT Region SAQA exhibit called CT Stories, I created this collage quilt depicting Dutch, (the dog I was only going to have for a few weeks - he is still with me) and me at the shore of the Long Island Sound. A Labrador who does not like to get his feet wet, we don’t wade into the water. Dutch’s body is mystical – representing that we can’t really know what goes on inside of them, whereas my coat, jeans and boots are common-place. This framed piece measures 12 high by 18 inches wide.
