DescriptionComposed of two parts a garment and a house-shaped support to display on a wall. Both components are made with wood as a base. The garment is composed of rows of wooden rectangles with cutout circles applied and topped with safety pins. The rectangles are ties together using strips of fabric, black nylon rope and include wooden beads, and wooden circular tubes. Painted in a variety of vivid colors including blue, red, orange, yellow, and green, the garment mimics a patchwork quilt. The flat house-shaped wall-structure constructed of wood has a tiled roof, louver and T-shaped bars for hanging the garment. This framework can also be installed on a wall.Exhibition History
