shifting

I call this one 'the small house (sewn with two shades of pink)'
I'm now thinking what if I did a whole bunch of these and laid them out on the floor of an empty space (which I don't have)
a flat pack home of sorts, make do, temporary living, tents....moving moving, lots of associations from such a small piece

these last three pics and the top one are of a piece of cloth I had forgotten about, it was in a zinc container with all sorts in it outside for quite some time; it had become covered in black bean stains and rusty marks, I didn't like it and overdyed it with clamped coins in the acorn-tin-can dye and then it was just more stain-like and way too dark, but not quite dark enough; I was rinsing it and feeling quite unsatisfied with the results and as I had just been cleaning the toilet with bleach (oh we artists lead such an adventurous life) I said to self: why not try and bleach it? and so I did, and I do like it now
