Where is the Balance by Diana Ferguson
This quilt was created for a show with the theme, “Town and Country.” When I heard those words together the thought that first came to mind was how towns/urban areas encroach and threaten nature. Man lives from the gifts of this planet yet seems to not consider and/or respect the natural balance between progress and planet stability. Hence the quilt, “Where is the Balance?” was created. I tried to capture nature fighting back as population swells and buildings take over our landscape. Every day I embrace the beauty of this planet and am thankful for the nurture of it and this piece hopefully reminds others to take a moment and do the same. – Diana Ferguson
