With Our Love






With Our Love..

is the last Madonna Roundel..
in
my 
Holiday Collection 

of paper and fabric shrines
which
are worked intricately between stitches and adhesive..




Caterina Giglio, detail from With Our Love, Madonna Roundel




above 
you can see the old letter through the netted fabric,
It reads... With Our Love..







this Madonna
sits serenely in a garden


If you look closely you will see a canopy or curtain
above her head, everyone of them has this reverential 
symbol
as if it has been lifted for your benefit to 
to view the beauty of the 

inner life..








Tempo 80.. is a detail
from an old piano roll
and refers, metaphysically in my mind
 to
 the power one gains by
 joining the dance of life..

Each Roundel reflects 
the holy relationship with 
Motherhood..
but
this one 
rests 
peacefully..









Thank you for listening to all the backstories 
and the revelations that made themselves known to me
as I worked..

the narratives in relationship..
the way each piece speaks to the other 
in a series..

all the parts that fit together to make a whole..

four Madonna's all different
all the same..
