Chromatic Folds Unfurled

Description

Folds Unfurled

Studio life is full of quiet surprises and unforeseen challenges. Materials, machinery and operators all have independent will, it would seem, and independent opportunities to perform the unexpected.  This piece was born of all three.  I walked away from the machine that shook loose some screws and shifted the material in the hoop, presenting me with a new unforeseen outcome of utter beauty!

Folds Unfurled  is a lovely wall hanging, reminiscent of kimonos and far away, mythical places where inner-peace is the norm.

Sculpture: Fabric on Soft (Yarn, Cotton, Fabric), Wood.
