In My Father's House

32" x 41"

Hiroshima Series

The bombing of Nagasaki ended the war. This quilt's title refers to the words of Jesus in the Bible: John 14.  "In my Father's house there are many dwelling places.  If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?" A church building is often referred to as the house of God.

In the Cathedral in the ruins of boundless expanse

I stayed one night criticizing God
