'Every Soul' bears a hand made paper figure in eggplant and brick red embellished onto a machine quilted background in deeper brick color. Each figure on the Soul Series quilt is drawn by Mary Fisher from her hand made paper and carefully attached to give the quilt a dimensional look. This quilt measure 55 1/2 inches by 23 inches and has a sleeve attached for hanging. It is signed by the artist. The Soul Series of quilts reflects a thoughtful period in the life of the artist, Mary Fisher. She has signed this quilt and also attached the powerful artist statement to the back of the quilt. The statement is: Remembering her, I realize that every soul tells its own story. She had promised me that, once on the medications, she'd never stop. But her husband said she was shameful: he left. His family took trhe children. She felt her neighbors' accusing eyes, judging her guilty for a virus she never understood. Now, preparing to bury her, I heard her soul's story of piercing hopelessness. And I remembered again that every soul speaks, rarely using words.
