I create the world in stitches from bolts
of silky fabric and delicate thread.
I can watch this world fold or unfold as
it drops off my sewing table in hushed
tones. I'm an artist like Babette and her
feast. From this basement apartment I watch
them wear what I create, what makes them
step lightly up the stairs, what makes them
happy. What they shop for, the reasons they
descend these stairs are yards of red satin
you see draped on those mannequins. A red
rose in bloom; petals hidden are exposed.
Pin up this red and stitch it in place. Wait
for someone to find this world I create.
