The latest fires on the West coast are another manisfestation of the climate crisis. The Amazonian rain forest burning harkens the reality that this is a man-made phenomenon. Rusted Trees I was made in 2016 and is one of my favorite pieces. The deep autumnal colors and referenced trees in the white textile evoke the burning forests. So, I again rusted pieces of vintage textiles with a piece of metal found in the street. Rusted Trees II combines acrylic paint, cheesecloth and the separate rusted textile attached by embroidery thread on a wood panel.
