cottons, fused, rubber stamps, machine quilting
When we decided to work on that piece, we have tried various ways to work on that theme. Finally, we choose one of the versions, which we think could express our idea most. The earth is the common house for all of us. We have to take care and to dare it as we do to our own (private) houses. We have to protect it from danger in order to live all together peacefully in that house. Hands that cover the piece as a roof expresses the care and protection that each human should have to our common house. This is what we wanted to express. When we finished working on surface, to draw a picture, we tried to quilt the surface by machine. We wanted to express with stitch, the space, and the endless of the universe as the roundness of our planet.
