The Return elements evoke my mother’s sewing for me growing up and regular visits to my sister-in-law, who raises chickens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5061587e65d42e0e9ac129/9a125e22-1422-48ac-8de9-2e2861f7375a/Journey+and+Return-detail+2+2025.jpg Journey and Return series - Make it stand out Journey and Return Detail This Memory Square incorporates my mother’s sewing label for clothes she made, Joomchi made in my first workshop, calligraphy from a trip to China, buttons from my mother, and silk thread collected on an Uzbekistan textile tour. They bring back memories of my journeys to China, Uzbekistan, and workshops at the Penland School of Craft. The items from my mother evoke “home” for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5061587e65d42e0e9ac129/b00a678b-593e-4e8a-90a3-3c4a327a5370/Journey+and+Return-detail+3+2025.jpg Journey and Return series - Make it stand out one-wild-prescious-life-1Journey and Return Detail I made this abaca paper and dyed the inner bark of the mulberry tree at the Paper and Book Arts Intensive at Oxbow. The mulberry bark is laid directly on the wet abaca paper and bonds as it dries. This element represents my journeys in art, following my curiosity and exploring what the different materials can do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5061587e65d42e0e9ac129/d297669f-c489-4940-b668-081df0feb162/Journey+and+Return-detail+4+2025.jpg Journey and Return series - Make it stand out Journey and Return Detail I made this spirit man with my friend Jill Romanoke, with whom I had art dates when I was working full time. Jill was a wonderful guide for me when I began my artist’s journey. The feathers on the arms are from my sister-in-law’s chickens. I have great memories of visiting her on the farm, and being inspired by the house she built echoing Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian houses — nestling into the landscape overlooking Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5061587e65d42e0e9ac129/68ff1245-d133-4d1a-b13d-ceef8eeeea7d/IMG_5288.jpeg Journey and Return series - Make it stand out Alka Mathur’s memory square https://alkamathur.com
