For Kelly
130in x 48in
Cotton bedsheet, wax, thread
This is my first piece that came out of a fiber sculpture class I am taking. I used wax to dip strips of fabric into and then I scratched portions of the strips to expose the fabric underneath. The way the strips are installed inspired an idea for my final daapworks installation where the strips will be made out of ceramic instead of fabric. I decided to name this piece after my sister, because the color pallet reminds me of an old blanket she used to carry around, and while I was scratching at the wax surface it reminded me of when she used to pick at my mom's candles and leave wax bits all over the table.
