Through the eye of the Needle
Visual impactful story of life.
Innocence, reality and survival.  - Cole

I am struck by the use of the land to show what is hidden and what is in plain sight.  The flowers and trees and land are vibrant.  A space to be safe.
The childhood home an fields are lush and vibrant. When returning home, color is subdued, sparse. Emotion, family, love and heartache communicated through color and shape.

What I have learned from child survivors is that they had to grow up quickly. Esther Krinitz showed smarts and resourcefulness under great pressure and duress. When looking at art and journals from the Holocaust by children and teens, one sees a maturity well beyond their years.

As a mother myself, I have never been in a position to tell my children to go, so that they may live. Extraordinary courage and sacrifice.

In our school district we also teach about the history and culture of the people who are Hmong. The Paj NTaub or story cloth is similar in technique and purpose to Esther's art.  The connections I can make as a teacher will make both stories of a people more meaningful and impactful.

Esther’s story, told through her fibre art, is both moving and inspiring. As a stitcher myself, I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into every piece, so to see what would have been both physically and psychologically demanding fibre art is just phenomenal.

In so many of Esther's works, we see the loving presence of the natural world.  Indeed, many of the trees and flowers seem to be leaning in protectively over Esther & Mania.  To my mind comes Wendell Berry's poem "The Peace of Wild Things."

I was honored to see this show at the museum a few years ago. I was so moved and transformed by it. Not only does it tell a story of courage and bravery, it shows that there are so many ways to express ourselves today to inspire and connect.  As a person who loves handwork, I know the tremendous physical and emotional strength it must have taken to complete such a powerful body of work.  The level of emotion that is portrayed here demonstrates the power of memory and the need to share this story of survival.

Esther's story and work is rich in detail and texture.  As someone who comes from a long line of fiber artists, I understand the hours, days, months and years the work took to conjure.  I've wondered if embroidery work like it will be a lost art form one day.  Who embroiders today?
As someone who was taught to embroider by her grandmother, I can appreciate how stitch and thread can be coping and healing mechanisms.
