The Parting a Germantown Revival Tapestry Mae Clark
Mae Clark is one of the
most prolific and creative master weavers working today and she has
once again amazed us with her latest creation, a touching vignette of a
mother bidding farewell to a departed child., seen here as a
hummingbird hovering near the face of the veiled female figure.
In the picture at the lower left, you can see the composition
hanging in our gallery. Mae was inspired by the
art of the late Michaelis Burnham, who often used the the
hummingbird in his work. One of Michaelis' hummingbird
drawings is just to the right of Mae's weaving in the picture taken in the gallery. and in a detail picture
below.
Mae often writes poems to
accompany her weavings and she has given us permission to publish the
verse that expresses her thoughts on this piece.
The Parting I
thought I would stop by and explain.... To stand outside and
see beyond the hills and I say to you I'll always be
near your heart, not far from your thoughts Please don't let
me be your burden, I shed a tear To see my family,
missing me I am here with no blame I stand beside you
forever Take my hand and let me be your strength Talk
to me and each other You're still a family, take mothing for
granted Love and cherish each other through hard times Through
the song we sang and the prayer We prayed, you will remember
my teachings I leave you with this thought... You
made me the kind of person I was, nevertheless You will never
know the impact you made on my life You made it a beautiful
place, my family I'll be alright.
