Little Wolf Band, 37"x 27", 2007.
This textile artwork was created in honor of the Native American Little Wolf Band, which plays traditional native American music. A tiny variation of the Seminole quilt block invented by a member of the Seminole tribe lines the left and right borders.
Artist's Statement

Little
Wolf Band
began with an idea. I often listen to this band when I work and find their plaintive, pounding sounds haunting. Sometimes there are even wolves howling in the background. So I wanted to do an imaginary quilt to honor the people and their music. |
I truly believe I channeled this artwork. In fact, when I first tried to load it up on my website, the computer wouldn’t take it. The quilt demanded the last, cross-shaped talisman that I had debated about including. |
