Sun and Moon
This quilt is in three tiers. At the bottom is the 19th century Shaman //Kabbo, with Lucy Lloyd. Between them his stories are recorded in books, and float into the future, so that they can be preserved for future generations. In the middle tier is the story of the origin of death. The angry moon strikes the hare across its lip, because he will not stop crying for his dead mother, and curses him to die and never return. Facing them, humanity prays to the moon for life, so that we can, dying, return again. The top tier represents the creation of the Sun.
