Three Yellow Doors is a visual autobiography built in the language of memory and dream. Near the end of the sidewalk, from a safe landing place, I can reconstruct my life through dwellings: the household of my childhood, the household of my married life, the household where I am now. I have placed them in the suggestion of a fairytale forest. Early in constructing this quilt, the building renderings were significantly more realistic, as I gave attention to accuracy in perspective and proportions. Only as I began to skew those elements, also adding transparent layers to push the homes further into the background, did the story begin to feel real. My friends the birds are with me in the foreground: faithful observers and messengers.
