Ann Rothfels, Cookshire, PQ

When I received this golden block, I thought immediately of a sunset and then I thought - no - that would be the end of story and I wanted to represent the beginning. So I have chosen quieter (!) colours and a sparkling ocean to represent the eternalness of story - it was there in the beginning and it will be there in the end and it is our elders who help us to keep story alive.

The sunrise also represents the fresh beginning for a new teller, who could in the future become one of our elders, the vibrantness of story as it reflects each age, and the enduringness of our elders who have brought light into our lives.
