Description:
Artist Statement: "Inspired by Vasyl Symonenko's poem, "Millstones," my quilt embodies the resilience of the Ukranians. Millstones are reflected in Ukranian folk motifs, symbolizing endurance through the 20th century's trials. Crafted with care, they honor hard work and kinship across generations. Each patch tells a story of beauty, echoing the spirit of my resilient people."
