Blasted Lives of Children

1996

41" x 37"

Hiroshima Series

 

This also relates to the poem, Harvest of Hate. (See the quilt, The Hate Will Be Great.) Many young children were killed or injured in the bombing in Oklahoma City.  Like the children who were in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, surviving children have lives blasted by their injuries, memories or loss of family.   A quilt is usually something that evokes warmth, protection, and love rather than hate.
