Marcia Caldwell
Tulsa, OK USAWidth: 11.25"
Length: 9"
Materials/Techniques: Hand painted batik, organza, satin, tulle, novelty yarns, embroidery threads, special threads, one bead. Dream catcher appliquéd with trapunto, machine quilted.
Artist's Statement: My grandparents’ stories about their trips to Arizona brought the desert to me as a child. I was 55 before I experienced it. The colors and the light are exquisite, and each element stands alone in importance. Those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers are each invaluable in our world.
Marcia Caldwell Dedication: For my grandmother, Bertha, who taught me to love the desert, and who faded with "senile dementia" before it had another name.
