New Work: "The Beauty of Your Breathing", 2013, mother's hair from gestation period embroidered on found dress, velvet, 20 x 25" © Kate Kretz

Worked on this at my Dad's bedside in the last few weeks of his life, when I was thinking about precious breaths in a totally different way. 

 It will be one of three works I have in the "Hair Apparent" exhibition, opening this Sunday at The Athenaeum in Alexandria, VA.
