About the Works
A Stitch in Time depicts the artist attempting to make her new house a home. She repeatedly tries to “float” a quilt over the bed, but never gets it quite right. The image loops, giving a sense of eternity, determination, but yet, futility. The house hints at a cuckoo clock, a nod to the artist’s heritage and the passing of time.
