My Amulet Series is a reflection on human connection. While embellishing the handwoven elements in this series, I came to view them as amulets representing kindness and tenderness. The tactile, soft warmth of the various yarns woven together are a gentle reminder that humans are made to be in community with one another. As Paul Wellstone said, we all do better when we all do better. May we all find healing connection as we go forward, hopefully sharing little talismans of kindness and tenderness with others as we go.
