Denise makes contemporary art quilt portraits of very non-contemporary structures: megalithic Celtic stones and monoliths, and more recent (but still centuries old) monastic ruins.
These stonescapes–stone circles, standing stones, dolmens, burial tombs, abandoned churches, forgotten cemeteries, and lost-in-history portals and passageways –embody both immense timelessness and physical presence while evoking emotional remembrances of human pasts largely forgotten.

Event Details
Forty artists have been selected for the SAQA Global Exhibition Primal Forces: Earth by juror Sue Cavanaugh. This exhibition is the first in a three-part series to premiere at The National Quilt Museum over a six-year period.
This exhibition illustrates that all life on this planet depends on earth: it nurtures us through the soil beneath our feet. However, it can be a destructive force as well. Seismic activity and mudslides have shaped the landscape for millions of years and taken a toll on living beings as well. We are in an era of tremendous change in earth as well, due to shifting balances brought on by human activity.
Time
