What Is Never Said After/detail
Ghost Writing, January 2010 arlee barr
18″x16″, compost dyed cotton with appliqued vintage laces. Hand and machine embroidery, reverse applique, beading, faced holes
a ghost had sat, wherever ghosts sit,
in the dark and fust and silence, and silently
embroidered old letters
words
looked like they had run in the rain ———
and patched and beaded holes, burnt and torn and worn,
she he? pulled laces from old trousseaus and
unstrung beads
unravelled threads with no form left, a whisper of the silk,a memory of shine still in the twilight
sussuration of bone needle and tiny mouseclick stitch

OH MY GOSH! I got this in the mail today and it is SOOOO GORGEOUS! I’m completely delighted to own this piece of art. All the stitching is wonderful and I just can’t stop looking at it! I still can’t believe it’s really mine now.
HuGGs!

Once again I am inspired by the voice you so visually narrate with these works of texture and line….You have an amazing eye for detail that I so appreciate and I am also a collector of vintage fabrics…often discarded for the more modern in our throw away society. Whenever we employ the handwork of an anonymous woman I feel as if the dialogue is continued. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

I am creating in a somewhat fashion as you are processing these unique works…You have given me so much to think about as I work my “Whispers and Echoes of Women’s Work” opening on May 28TH. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I am also working with TAP papers and Lutradur
