Ode to Lance: Wind Embracing the Tree

!!! Will appear at the Adirondack Museum May - October, 2009!!!
About a year ago, on Halloween actually, my brother, Lance, the youngest of my 6 siblings died in a tragic fall at his worksite on the shore of Lake George. Within the week I was constructing these curving "flying geese" patterns, not knowing how I would use them, only that they moved through the air. This quilt was finally finished in early June. It's about Lance and and his wife Anne, the fantastic art teacher in Schroon Lake, who were both in training to be life coaches. They were asked to name the part of nature thay were most like. Lance wrote, "I am the wind."...I'm the wind that's low down just above and through the trees, and if there's a leaf that needs a little rustling, I give it a push. Anne said that she was a tree that branches in all directions, because her interests are in many different areas. So this quilt is entitled "The Wind Embracing the Tree". If you look carefully, you'll see Lance riding his bike up the tree; he loved hills! He rode with Lance Armstrong earning $ for cancer research, and his last charitable ride was for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation from Vancouver to Banff over the Canadian Rockies. This past year they renamed the mountainous route the Lance Gregson Memorial CF Route. The circles in the quilting are in reference to bicycle wheels going round and round. The gentle mountain in the background resembles Pharoah Mountain that Lance and Anne can see from their front window, and the narrow line of drops in the fabric on the right side are the family tears. We surely miss him, but his zest for life spurs us onward.

Newest Sculpture
Here are some photos of my newest sculpture, "Barry's Ship", a Christmas gift for my brother, Barry, a noted rustic furniture artist. I fashioned the form from manzanita branches and burl donated by rustic funiture maker, Morris, who also has a studio in the Shirt Factory. Then I created a two-sided quilted sail for the ship. One side has a flying geese motif that represents my brother, Lance, who died this past fall in a tragic accident at his work site in Lake George. You can learn more of my two brothers by checking the links from my website.
