Fabric of golds, blues and reds creates the backdrop for the face of this child from Africa. Available only in poster form as this quilt has been sold, this poster bears a powerful image. The finished size of the poster is 18 inches by 24 inches and is signed by Mary Fisher. The artist statement with this quilt poster reads as follows: We think of them as distant and dirty, if we think of them at all. In fact, they are like our own children when we call them in from play. What's different is that we protect our children from all things harmful; she and her fellow orphans are safe from nothing that will prey on them: hatred, hunger, disease, rape, greed. An orphan does not lack simply parents: she lacks everything needed to live.
