PATCHWORK by Becky Hemsley


"PATCHWORK"
by Becky Hemsley 2020

Your life is like a quilt
And everybody weaves their share
Some weave huge great tapestries
And some weave tiny squares
Some squares bring you laughter
And some will bring you tears
Some are stitched and sewn by those
Who are no longer here
In places there are threads
From people choosing not to stay
And every time you touch these threads
It brings back all the pain
But every little thread
That weaves its joy and pain and fun
Has stitched a quilt together
Of the person you’ve become
And every little tiny part
Has slowly taught you how
To weave your contribution
Into the blanket you have now
So I know there are squares that comfort you
And some that you dislike
But without them all you wouldn’t have
This patchwork of your life

  1. This isn't real artwork, is it? Is computer generated or AI or something, no?

    1. Becky Hemsley herself mentions that the artwork was created using Bing, which probably means that it was created by an AI. Bing uses Dell-E I believe to create images. Although I myself, an artist and craftsman in multi media, could quite easily produce something similar using fabrics (applique work) the shadows in the picture, actually suggest this. However AI's are very, very clever these days.
