22 X 22" 2003
This work is machine pieced, not appliquéd, except for her heel and ear. It is free motion machine quilted in various metallic and rayon threads. All of the fabrics used are 100% cotton, as is the batting.
Made for the "Women Of Biblical Proportions" exhibit, I wished to depict Bathsheba at moonrise, her beauty gilded by the golden light of the moon and reflected back on her from the wall behind her mosaic tub. The feeling of her being in the out of doors is emphasized by the various foliage fabrics used, and I knew that I wanted to use a warm palette of predominately rusts and purples. I enjoy the challenge of finding just the right commercial fabrics to portray my subjects in a realistic manner.
