Insecurity Blanket

(photo documentation of new fiber piece by me Anna P. )

After learning that we still are, and forever may continue to live at Level Orange, I decided to give my insecurity blanket a try on today. It is a 15 foot piece of government issue desert camouflage that I have altered by adding hundreds of pieces of cut Hawaiian shirts. I was thinking of Klimt's Judith series and Nick Cage's sound suits while I styled these shots. I feel that it needed to be a cloak, even though I keep trying to make it a wall hanging. Yeah wall hanging, who am I kidding? When have I ever made something that fits comfortably into one category. Maybe next I grab Miyoko-san as my fearless assistant and take it to the park...

I reshot today after a night of Klimt research. I transformed myself into the redhead 'Truth' who shines back light from the mirror of truth. Throw in a little reference to 'Hope II,' and I think I have made progress.
