Conversations with my late husband
“Conversations with my late husband”, is, in a sense, a collaborative effort as I am stitching on top of years of David’s doodles. David was a Middle East scholar and was fluent in many different language. His scribbles, in Hebrew, Arabic, and his own shorthand, took place over a 20 year period as he sat in seminars and conferences. It is a window into the mind of a brilliant but goofy man.
I work on top of Dave’s doodles but in place of ink, I am drawing with thread and fiber. The black or blue ink of a pen is transformed into color and the result is a continuing conversation.
