Stitch Again | Bandana Memories: Unbuttoned

“Let somebody see you learning.
Ask them to show you the stitch again.”
— Shawn Ashman, Fifty Lines of Wisdom

I wore my Jamaican bandana with pride when I represented Jamaica. In Stitch Again, I bring that fabric into my art to reflect on something I value at fifty: the freedom to share what I know and still ask someone to show me how it’s done. There’s a quiet confidence in saying, “Show me that stitch again.”

Stitch Again is one of eleven original mixed-media artworks in Bandana Memories: Unbuttoned, a collection that pairs Jamaican bandana fabric with poetry about turning fifty.
