Thinking of seeds and the garden brought me to start this series of textiles entitled, Seed Library. This one is Kale.

Seed libraries are wonderful connectors. It’s a way of sharing the hope of growing something.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed that some of the local libraries have added a seed library. One can ‘check out’ seeds with the requirement that you bring back more seeds at the end of the season so others can grow things too.

I describe my practice as inside and outside. For this textile, I used greens from my garden as a point of departure. Kale loves cooler weather. The cooler the weather, the sweeter the flavor. The combination of purples and greens is lovely.
