This fascinating journey chronicles one artists long career through gorgeous tapestries and their histories, organized in chronological order. Each tapestry displayed presents a seminal idea of the artist and, as she states, a finished tapestry illuminates daily existence and is a part of the on-going chronicle of how design ideas are conceived and executed.
