Last night I went to the opening reception for a lovely new show in a small gallery at the University of Denver. “Mi Vida en Colcha” displays 44 needlework scenes — colchas — by San Luis native Josephine Lobato. The pieces are heavy on history with little dashes of fantasy and folklore, each one depicting a different moment from the San Luis Valley of Lobato’s childhood. Lobato, now 88 and living in Westminster, was there, too — you can read more about her and her work in this week’s Colorado Sunday. It was interesting to think about how the daily changes that we witness will fit into a larger arc of Colorado’s history, and how they might be retold 50 years from now.
Let’s get to them.
