Juxtaposition
1998
63"h x 50"w
$3,500USD
I wanted to express the give
and take, push and pull of the two disparate parts
of my life, horticulture and needle arts. Sometimes one or the
other is dominant,
but most of the time they blend and flow together harmoniously.
Each block comprises two
Bali batik fabrics fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle and embellished
with decorative handmade cords and threads. The rings and circles
join
and flow from block to block, as does the background quilting.
the orange sashing is hand dyed cotton by David Walker.
This piece began its life
in a workshop with David Walker in 1997.
