Sheila surprises her audience by using them to spontaneously recreate an installation stored for years in the PMA's basement. This is made from nurses uniforms, dyed, torn and draped. Sheila then gifted it to the Phil. Museum of Art, holder of the largest collection of her work.

Then the next day at the ICA at Philadelphia University, we catch Sheila giving a personal lecture to a local textile group, and of course, hop on the tour! She's generous enough to give autographs and photo opps. A serendipitous meeting, all in perfect timing. Ck out: http://www.icaphila.org/miranda/
