Gloria Patri

There is no right side up or upside down, there is only the center.  How to regain the center when equilibrium is lost?  Slow, repetitive, meditative stitching; slow, repetitive, meditative prayer.  This piece was made using original silk screens, free-motion quilting, and painting.  The center features an original designed ambigram (which has 180 degree rotational symmetry) on the word Gloria.
