Balancing Act #3 by Cynthia St Charles
From the Hand Dyed Gallery
Size in inches: 17 x 52

Price: $400

Working with a random piecing technique while thinking about all the various tasks and responsibities in my life led to this creation. I hand dyed the many colored background fabrics, and used a swirling spiral motion in the machine quilting to express the chaos I was feeling. The dark shapes and lines are intended to represent the same feminine figure struggling to balance everything in her life.

Considering Quilts, Atlantic Center for the Arts at Harris House, New Smyrna Beach, Florida, April - May 2004
