The area of Cleveland is Forest Hills, the name of the print fabric hidden below. Yes, I've read that it is thieves stealing the pipes but now I heard there has been a legitimage business created to salvage items from homes before they're destroyed, employing 30 people in Cleveland.kathrynclarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992452364929768013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956388656277663657.post-62425499425311857202011-06-26T09:30:17.615-07:002011-06-26T09:30:17.615-07:00What I love about this body of work is the serious...What I love about this body of work is the serious social protest done with domestic and female techniques to make an object that we think of as something that comforts us. It is amazing, and congratulations.<br /><br />thanks also for the tip about the tracing paper map as a guide, I'll remember that.<br /><br />I also like to read anything about Louise Bourgeois' body of work, so thanks for your last post as well.Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956388656277663657.post-86314072245879420222011-06-25T18:01:19.840-07:002011-06-25T18:01:19.840-07:00the work you are doing on these quilts are amazing...the work you are doing on these quilts are amazing - the layers both of the quilt and in your thoughts behind it are so intriguing and beautiful. i'm enjoying watching the progress, despite the serious subject matter.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511725867464052114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956388656277663657.post-75257120560260600702011-06-25T17:45:22.272-07:002011-06-25T17:45:22.272-07:00Interesting that your dad is an architect.

I love the faded house fabric on this piece, like ghosts of what once was, and the meaning behind the gold thread is another powerful component. The thought behind your work is fabulous.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956388656277663657.post-49815155123851196182011-06-25T13:34:37.473-07:002011-06-25T13:34:37.473-07:00this is coming together well! the gold thread is a...this is coming together well! the gold thread is an interesting touch. i wonder what the foreclosures in the neighborhoods the rich people (the ones who are making money off of this) live in look like?<br />the green areas could be a different texture of fabric perhaps? felt, or velvet, maybe handmade paper with seeds suspended in it (the type you get which you can plant)? <br />you're going to have quite some series when you're done!anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293672410131916800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956388656277663657.post-39590850563991756522011-06-25T13:23:44.037-07:002011-06-25T13:23:44.037-07:00The gold thread is a great find.

I appreciate your stitches and your desire to expose my city's steady population decline. <br />What section of Cleveland is this?<br />I draw maps of my place in Cleveland and stitch them!<br />p.s.<br />My understanding is that the copper pipes are ripped out and sold by thieves. It's a huge problem in troubled neighborhoods. Mostly, it's 'easy cash' for people living on the fringe. <br />I can rant more, but rather enjoy your artwork instead.<br />Thank you for sharing your work.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048753941726949285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956388656277663657.post-66867892917854150512011-06-25T07:55:35.954-07:002011-06-25T07:55:35.954-07:00This is really beautiful, relevant work.
