I'm a member of the Fibre Arts Network http://www.fibreartnetwork.com/ and our show is entitled Elements. I chose to interpret two of the "traditional" four elements, earth, wind, fire and water. Earth Layers was inspired by an article in a recent National Geographic magazine that discussed the degradation and erosion of soil in different parts of the world. Some of the photos showed cut-aways through the layers that feed and nourish the pplants above.
I used hand and machine stitching, hand dyed fabrics that had been discharged and then painted. There are beads in the piece as well have distressed fabrics. All in all, I am pleased with the work.
