Message: "Making memories that last lifetimes"

Inspiration - Susan's explanation of the inspiration and creative process behind specific sculptures: Making memories that last lifetimes - Introduced Summer 2006

"I learned to sew from my mother, and she learned from her mother and aunt. I wanted this piece to not only depict the process of learning, sharing and making, but also the creating of memories that are passed down with love through generations. I hope it resonates with anyone who has lovingly carried on a tradition within her family."
