"This is Not a Drill”
“I hear my son and daughter often discuss devastating Climate Change concerns and the need to adopt sustainable practices. Inspiration for this quilt was born from our discussions on the Amazon rain-forest fire, the deforestation and mining, the dark clouds of smoke, and how it may accelerate the climate change crisis.
This quilt handmade in Indian style using cotton Ikat saree is a visual response to the hurt. What will you do to heal our home?"
