I am very interested in people who are passionate about things, including those who practice orthodox or fundamental forms of religion. I am fascinated how their beliefs affect every aspect of their life. In this quilt, the black 'sides' represent Israel and Palestine. The red represents both passion and the bloodshed that passion has caused on both sides. The embroidered and foiled Dome of the Mount and Western Wall unites the 'sides' and straddles the division. My blog post sets out more background and construction details.
