12 Days of Christmas

Korean Fabrics, watercolors, quilts

Holiday spirit overflows in this season with lots of things to celebrate. But is it only me who also held laments over this happy season? On the day of Thanksgiving, my host dad went to the ER, a Korean airplane crashed a couple days after Christmas, New Year's brought a tragic terror in Louisiana, wildfire wiped out habitats in LA on Epiphany. This ‘Happy Holiday’ mingled expected joy and unexpected sorrow.

Anticipating 12 days of Christmas, this work long for the Promised One's coming. Each home is patched differently on each day, picking colors of fabric, cutting them to a variety of shapes, stitching homes together. The tangible activity of making connected me to the true meaning of Christmas- happiness and longing.
