"I", 2008<br />

Lily Lam (Westmount, QC)<br />

Cotton, cotton blend, acrylic felt batting; machine pieced, machine quilted.<br />

13" x 14"<br />

"I", the Chinese symbol for the classic "Book of<br />

Change", provided the essential wisdom for this<br />

quilt. Life is a continuum of change; the only constant<br />

is change itself. Brush in hand, I wrote the<br />

character on paper and, with some help from modern<br />

technology, transferred it as machine embroidery<br />

over the block. Hence, "I" was born, or has it<br />

always existed? Inspired by spontaneous, unstructured<br />

play prompted by reading Nancy Crow's latest book.<br />
