Installation Description

Description:

Home is more than a physical installation; it is a memory, an ideal, a future.

My vision of Home will incorporate many of the traditional and expected pieces that make up a persons residence, all created from fabric::

A lush green front yard
Patchworked green fabrics as grass, knitted green yard, and crocheted flowers attached as a garden

A walkway to the front door and white picket fence
Gray patchwork weaving its way to the front door thru the grass of the yard, a white picket fence acting as a way to step into the installation as well as a source of lighting at night

A growing tree beside the house
Wood, wire hangers, and chicken wire wrapped to make a trunk and covered in brown patchwork fabric. Recycled cardboard covered in green fabric as the leaves

A backyard equipped with a pool and rock formations
Blue patchwork formed into a circle creating a pool/lake surrounded by pillows covered in gray patchwork and adornments to give the appearance of rocks and seating

A full sized housing structure, large enough to be lived in, epitomizing a ranch style home
-An indoor wall covered with safety pins, fabric, and pens to encourage thoughts, dreams, images to add to the art inside -Pillows covered in multi-colored patchwork as seating
