Gratitude to Uncle Mark

This is another of my cotton wall hangings. I dye, stamp, rip, burn and layer all the small cotton pieces and sew them to one large canvas backing.
I named this piece to honor my Uncle Mark, who passed away several years ago. In getting ready for my gallery show I became very stressed and worried about not having everything ready in time for the hanging. Uncle Mark came to me in a dream to help me calm down and to let me know that I would get everything finished and that things would work out fine.
After that dream I returned to enjoying the artistic process and creating new pieces with love rather than seeing the process as a chore and something stressful to finish with only the deadline in mind.
