Juarez

My quilt Juarez, which was banned at the United Nations, was on exhibit at Oasis in Palm Springs, October 2 - 4.  It is part of Solar Sister, a touring exhibition on the topic of energy's impact on women's lives.  The underlying image is a map of the border between Juarez and El Paso.  The piece honors the women who work in the well-lit American factories who walk home in the dark.  Many face rape and even murder in the unlit streets of the Sonoran Desert.
