re-claimed wool blanket, wool threads, hand stitch 52 x 361 cm (20 x 142 ")
Made from a re-constructed 90+ year old wool blanket, this cloth holds time and memory. The several threadbare areas evoke the man, woman or child who lay with the blanket and repeatedly pulled it up as a covering. Many of the worn areas are mended with darning stitch by the artist and the edges strengthened with blanket stitch. These areas of recent handwork add another layer of human touch.
