My new Little Red Riding Hood sashiko, the 6th of this year.
I was talking with my daughter about how long I have been preoccupied with LRRH imagery in my work. She remembers riding her bike (tyres inked) over a piece of paper to make a LRRH piece about road safety when she was 5. This ancient theme, myth, tale stays with me. I use it to make sense of events; personal, ecological and political. Currently it is personal, I need that repetitive stitch, that re-telling with protagonists enacting different roles, ethos, psyches. I need this ancient tale to ground me and show me a path forward even if the path is not one I want to take.
