Comments(1) Valarie James is both an artist and an activist. She takes no verbal stand. She just shows you, with her art, what she sees.
Her work is progressing far beyond this La Madre, which was shown in 2006 in the exhibition Changing the World One Thread at a Time. She speaks of secrets we will never know. She collects precious, heirloom quality, hand work on textiles in the Spanish language.
A documentary, called The Trail of Thread is in process.
Thank you for this link, Thelma. This is a fascinating story and I empathize with the angst of finding these textiles and other objects in the desert. What stories there must be attached to each piece.
