2008, embroidery, Douglas Fir panels, reclaimed fibers,
4' x 10'
This artwork  is based on the traditional Native American winter count.  A winter count is a Native American mnemonic device passed from one generation to another marked with pictographs that record noteworthy events in tribal life that took place each ‘winter’ or year.  Mnemonic is defined as a system of principles and formulas designed to assist or improve the memory.  Each image reminds of a story.  
I have used embroidery to create my own biographical winter count creating a time line and choosing a memory from each year of my life through 2007.
