This cool color scheme geometric image recalls the quilts my mother creates for her loved ones. The piece is sectioned off in geometric circles with a line boarder. The repeated shapes connect in shape, color and pattern. They relate with my mothers quilts in their organic theme with organized pattern. The artist uses cool colors in a harmony which creates comfort and unifies the composition. The surface has some texture and layering of the circles which emulates the surface of quilted fabric. The connection of the artist work and my mothers quilts create a connection to the work I am going to produce. Harmony, comfort, color and shape are the themes in this piece and the quilts in our family which all will relate to my work in this class.

Mixed Media and Hair
This sculptural work reminds me of women and their connections to themselves along with their inner strength which they use to complete all that is asked of them. The females hair style becomes their "signature" and the connection to the inner person. In this piece, the softness and length show the tenderness and power that woman possess. As on a clothes line, Black hair hangs in graduated lengths from left to right, longer in the middle and shorter towards the end of the line. There is shorter and less hair hanging from the left side and it gradually becomes longer and thicker towards the middle then tapering off at the end in a symmetrical progression. White silk cloth hangs at both ends of the composition flanking the length of hair. Woven silk with the ends somewhat frayed reminds me of the life we as women carry on each day.
