"Submergence is one of my water quilts, suggesting through color the attractiveness of ocean, the desire to explore its mystery,” comments Erika. “Though the water’s surface seems just within hand’s reach, the depths hold our attention. However, not being a swimmer, I’ve experienced being caught underwater and needing to be fished out. The water’s surface was bright with sunlight, but, to me, unattainable. Yet when I look at Submergence I can imagine being surrounded by water and unafraid."Label Type

"Submergence is constructed of cotton and cotton classic batting, machine pieced, hand quilted. It is the third in a series of water quilts. The water's surface is near but the ocean's depths are more enticing. I am not a swimmer and tried to capture some of the fear I feel when in water and can't reach the surface as well as my fascination with what's beneath the surface."
