Art Heals

Posted on by debthumanblog

I’ve been working on fabric designs this week. After watching a traumatic presentation about trauma, I had to write out my feelings. You can read the post here: https://debthumanblog.wordpress.com/2021/06/25/i-am-not-broken/

There’s a quilt in there somewhere. Maybe my latest designs will help me find it.

This design might be good for a mental health quilt. The fractured triangles mirror how I feel at times.

I love positive and negative prints and to combine both in one garment.

This is what happens when I start playing around with a photo of a sunset.

Road map to getting lost in thought.

Splat.

These are all from a sunset photo. There is no end to the kinds of designs that can be made while editing.

I retired from the Public Defender Dept. November 12, 2015 after 16 health destroying years. Now, I'm a full time multi-media artist and writer on a new adventure. As an artist, I create with beads, fabric, fiber, and ceramic clay. Sometimes separately; sometimes in assorted combinations. You can find my on-line store at: www.debthumanart.com.
