I

am an artist and meditation and yoga practitioner, related roles that have fed an ongoing practice of reflection and study to understand myself and others. Exploring symbolic archetypes has become a part of that learning quest.

I was inspired to further illustrate my influential Seeker archetype, continuing the story begun by The Seeker quilt in 2019. Prior to that inspiration, an image began to form with a weathered prayer flag remnant from my garden and paint on commercial cotton cloth. When considering the archetype, the idea ripened with this image as the starting ground. I chose my drawing of a statue of Buddha, and another based on the eyes from a shrine signifying the

all-seeing ability of the wise, as other representative elements that spoke of my seeking journey. These were printed on silk organza and fused to the cloth. Final additions of hand embroidered stitches created an interplay of texture between the elements. Hand work, specifically stitch, is my favorite stage in the making process. It is here that I slow down, present, and fully open to the direction of the evolving work. The Seeker, the driver of my spiritual journey, encourages looking within, and to the wider world for answers to deeper questions. Even when answers are not clear, my Seeker helps me to see with the eyes of my heart.
