Needlework & EMBROIDERY
“I am happy to have these pieces in the exhibition in the hopes that other may understand we are only limited in our imagination by ourselves.
And we can create the world we envision through persistence.”

What If
What if the shadow of a towering Redwood
Could bring you delicious food prepared by another,
What if the gentle melody of wind chimes
Could take you to the sunny banks of a friendly river.
What if the arched brick of your mailbox
Could bring you decadent dark chocolate from San Francisco,
What if the rhythm of a fluttering flag
Could take you on exciting trips with the love of your life.
Collaborative poem by Louise McCracken and her daughter, Jessica
Resilience
Gnash of teeth
Intake of breath
Clenching...
Then release...
And then
Breath...
Erasing into each breath -
And there is room,
Room for opening ribs, spreading arms,
Room for each new thought,
And finally
Looking around me
Refreshed.
Vicki Bruckner, 2020
