33 Marie Kajdasz<br />

Memory Dress, 2003<br />

Marie Kajdasz (Victoria, BC)<br />

Cottons,antique lace,beads,ribbon,organza,silk,taffeta,photo transfers,<br />

embellishments; hand and machine pieced, hand and machine embroidered,<br />

hand quilted. 26" x 51"<br />

I am fascinated by the passing of time, and how one<br />

can exist in the present tense, and yet, also in the<br />

past through memories and in the future, through<br />

aspirations. This quilt was designed to incorporate<br />

my most important memories to date. Yesterday's<br />

memories have determined both what we are today,<br />

and shape what we will become tomorrow. Included<br />

in this patchwork collage of my memories, are images<br />

relating to my maternal grandmother, and the wedding<br />

rings of both my mother and grandmother.
