This is a textile map of my childhood home.
I used sheer fabrics and small scraps of recycled fabric and layered them. Some of the sheer fabrics I painted with ecoline paint (which was fun to do and gave me lots of ideas!).
I also added embroidery and some woolen thread.
This piece is inspired by the work of Valerie S. Goodwin, who makes the most wonderful cartographic art quilts.
To me this is a great way to capture memories. I quite like wandering through the past in a visual way like this.
