I have found my voice, in a way, by creating “quote quilts.” In Text from Matthew, part of the Liturgical Banner portion of the Sacred Threads exhibit, I was challenged to distill the teachings of the bible into an art piece within a limited space. These five nuggets of the bible, found in Matthew, give us simple guidance on how to live our lives in harmony with ourselves and others. The time it takes to craft a letter, a word, a phrase, and eventually an entire “story” make me reflect on and live what I am creating. The gold letters represent the preciousness of the word of God.
