FRAGS from Madeleine Wories (USA), Carl Hayward (USA)

“As an internationally exhibited woman artist I bring a unique global perspective due to the fact that I was born into the Sindhi and Hindu traditions in Rajasthan, India, and later embraced Islam and moved to USA in 1986. As a woman, artist, and mother, I work to create harmony by expressing the universality of humanity through paintings, sculpture, calligraphy and poetry.
My works are lyrical, spiritual, layered and flowing, revealing the stories of unity in diversity, hope and connection, celebration of earth and women. The common thread running through my work is that I am seeking oneness among humanity, soil and soul.
As a visual artist I have had 40 plus solo shows nationally and internationally and have won several prestigious awards including the East Bay Community’s Fund for Artists in 2012 and 2014 and 2020. The City of Berkeley’s Individual Artist Grant Award in 2014, 2015, and 2016. I have public art pieces on display in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and San Diego, California and I have also written and published five books on my art and poetry including my recent with ecological consciousness from Quranic verses “Our Earth: Embracing All Communities.”

Woven Like a Tapestry

We are not alone in this world
We are woven like a tapestry
A million threads combined....
If a single thread is pulled
The pattern is damaged
If a single knot is opened
Balance is disturbed
There is a purpose for each color
Each stitch is measured
Selfishness may cause
Imbalance in measured spaces
Let us remain conscious and alert
If you find a thread pulled or broken
Mend it there and then
Independent yet together
We create this fabric of life
