New Work - Hot Water - Dead Sea
Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 07:52PM I have been working on a big piece which I cannot really show on my blog as I am hoping it will be exhibited - if I finish it in time.
However - I recently made a smaller quilt for an exhibition in New Zealand on climate change - called A Change in the Weather. Mine is:
Hot Water - Dead Sea
$ 1600
150 cm x 50 cm
At the waters of the sea increase in temperature the sea will become more acid. Corals and molluscs will be unable to form shells and the reefs will die. For a while at least, coelenterates like jelly fish will fill the seas.
Cotton fabric, wool mix batting, layered appliqué, piecing.
I do not often post things for sale - in fact I do not often even try to sell work as it is easier for me to sell classes and talks if I actually own most of it myself. I am a slow worker too. I seem to spend as much time thinking about the pieces as I do working on them.
The crosses are inserted in the piecing like a memorial for the dead coral reef.

Well said!
A picture is worth a thousand words, and this piece says it beautifully.
Congratulations on the solo show in Birmingham too.

That is so beautiful Jenny, and so deadly. It really makes one stop and gasp. Congratulations from me also re Birmingham.
