By artist Bernard Sleigh
Artist statement: I used a map of London as the structure for this piece. Not only is the overall pattern the map, but the fabric pieces I painted are a smaller scale of the map. I was intrigued by the metaphor of the map in thinking about where am I in my life? Is there a map to help me when I am lost?
Quilt dress is 56" x 35".
