”Bye Bye, Blue Eyes", Nelson, New Zealand, 2008

Sometime in late 2007, I was asked by Exhibitions Coordinator Susie Lees if I would like to have an exhibition at Fibre Spectrum, Nelson's textile cooperative. 2007 was an extremely busy year for me, so I agreed if I could have a late 2008 spot, and I was given the November spot.

Shortly before my exhibition, actor Paul Newman passed away, and since he was a favorite of mine since I met him ever-so-briefly in Minneapolis in 1975, I wove a series of blue scarves remembering his famous eyes.
