When I returned from my artist residency, I went straight to work on my donation quilt.
Amala asked me to choose one of the public sites for my artwork, and I selected Sunny Alcove. The day we hiked Sand Canyon was clear and bright, yet the structures remained in deep shadow beneath the cliff—creating a striking contrast with the sunlit canyon walls on either side.
I decided it would be just as easy to make two quilts as one, allowing me to keep a piece for my own national park collection. This one marks number 19.
I plan to deliver the donation quilt to Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in late April when we return with friends.
