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..
