C'est fini! Here is the Fabric City on a backpack. The writing was done with 3D Fabric paint. June 25, 2011.
Back of The City. Fabric and thread. June 2011.
The reverse side of “The City” reminds me of a Situationist psychogeographic map. I toyed with the idea of letting go of all the work on the map and apply this abstract work on the backback. This would have been the gutsy thing to do but, in the end , i couldn’t let go of the work.

The Fabric City is finally finished! Yay! Back to collages and sketches now.
From this…
…to a process of cutting and puzzle-making…
to this:
The Invisible City|La Gitane. Fabric and colored yarn, sewn by hand. June 24, 2011.
Tomorrow the ‘city’ will be cut and applied to a presently plain backpack and signed.
I also want to share this impromptu jewelry design, my second, kindly modeled!
Earth and Water. Ceramic beads and yarn. June 24, 2011
Finally, work inspired by New York in form of a guest post:

Connecting|Disconnecting over the New York Post. New York City Subway, Line 5 Uptown, June 21, 2011.
Presently and present in New York City.
Conference sessions, museums, walking walking walking. Design, Architecture, Art.
The energy of the City. Ideas like kites move slower than the city moves. Slower than pedestrians at a busy intersection, slower than subway trains with their human cargoes.
A musical: Death Takes a Vacation.
Absorbing and consuming the city, which becomes a commodity. Getting lost in the city, a bus to New Jersey, a ride to the Bronx.
Will post few dispatches, I have been absent with no written excuses.
………………………….
My fabric city map is almost done, it took almost a month. I have the utmost respect for seamstresses.
Until next time, with a summer-light heart, looking forward to sharing more experiments.
