Project #2
Kathleen Lewis started the next project and we choose a theme from our experiences at Local Cloth of from the Helene hurricane of 2024: before, just after/during, and after.
Kathleen Lewis passed this project beginning to Martha Brandon. cotton, photo-transfer to fabric images.
Kathleen Lewis started the project by creating a linen background with photos transferred onto fabric and a dark-colored center.
Martha Brandon had to think awhile about what her contribution might be, but she followed Kathleen Lewis’s beginning brilliantly.
Martha Brandon’s contribution centered on the top of the piece: cards from Local Cloth vendors who lost inventory during Hurricane Helene, along with elements of thread, weaving, surface design, and photo transfer.

I’ll keep you all posted!
Katya Krenov-Hoke added the tree and then the fallen tree. This reflected an event she and her husband endured when the tree fell on their house. When the house was built, they had carefully preserved the beautiful tree, only to have it topple over a few years later during the heavy rains and hurricane winds.
Christina Hvitfeldt’s contribution was a phoenix rising out of the oval cloth rubble.
