Quiet Time
Tressa Sularz
Rattan, waxed Irish linen, Cherrywood base
NFS

I weave love into everything I make. These two pieces connect visually and emotionally.

Quiet Time is reflective, without color, made in the aftermath of grief for my late husband John. It might be seen as a vessel for love, for grief. Serenity is sought in the making.

The Nearness of You celebrates life with my second husband Mike. The sculptural form is a tactile pleasure, akin to two figures cuddling. Color has returned.
