For the last three years, while I have produced a limited-edition line of bed quilts under the EKO logo, I have been passionately involved in developing the next phase of my art. It has taken several forms, including some sculptural ones, and it has been based on community involvement. Groups of people give me their stuff (cloth, photographs, small three dimensional mementos) and I make it into something (banner, hanging, photo-collage, sculpture). These pieces, frequently accompanied by a scrapbook of descriptions from the participants, have a profound potential to bind and identify a group and become a compelling symbol for it.
