From Fidget statement:
FIDGET is a work that fits into my ongoing investigation of repetition, and it's potential to depersonalize and desensitize within both institutions and domestic realms. It is comprised of several strands of hand-constructed worry beads, modelled after the traditional Greek worry beads ("Komboloi") used as a tool for relaxation and meditation.
Each of FIDGET's strands are made up of 19 hand-drilled pills, each on which four eyes- a common worry bead motif, said to protect the handler from the "evil eye"- have been hand-drawn. The act of making these strands- drilling, drawing, and stringing over and over again- parallels the many ways we employ repetition and ritual to desensitize; from the role of counting in both healing and meditation (counting sheep, counting to ten before reacting, counting a number of pills per day), to the ways in which anxiety can manifest itself in symptoms of psychiatric illness, such as repetitive/compulsive counting, writing (graphomania), fidgeting, touching, etc. The glaring eyes of FIDGET evoke a similar sense of anxiety, and allude to a perpetually awake state.
FIDGET addresses the role of repetition in both modern and folk methods of healing, and the ways in which we use repetitive acts to desensitize ourselves. It alludes to both the constructive and destructive implications of this instinct, issues of dependence, and the sometimes fine line between an illness and its cure.

I belong to the Streetsboro Quilt Guild in Ohio, and one of our service projects is to make fidget quilts for people with Alzheimer's/dementia.
My world is filled with travel, quilting and volunteering.
My last adventure was (section) hiking the Buckeye Trail in Ohio - all 1,477 miles!
My biggest adventure so far was when I sold my house, quit my job and traveled around the world. Learn more at "If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough: A Solo Journey Around the World."
I'm playing around with photo apps on my iPad, and I kind of love this finished product. Yay, surreal!
