Image Statement: Sometimes the fabrics were stacked to form monochromatic flowers or flowers with contrasting color layers. I purchased some of the fabrics, but as word spread of the project, my sister, fiber friends, friends of friends, all donated fabric from their stashes. I even received fabric and yo-yos from a woman whose mother was a quilter and had died. One of those yo-yos, red and cream check, forms the base layer for a smaIl yo-yo near the top left, above the orange & black flower. Others appear elsewhere on the sculpture. In this way, the project is also multi-generational.
