Eve serves as a great inspiration for me in many ways.  Throughout history she has been portrayed artistically innumerable times and in many different contexts.  She invites endless speculation and, for each of us, provides the essence of womanhood we choose to attribute to her.

In MOTHER OF ALL LIVING, Eve’s figure—strong and delicate—fills the tapestry.  She is
all-important and commands us to view her fully—in all of her many roles and with all of her complexity.

The tapestry’s colors create a feeling of movement that accompanies her in an endless dance.
