Story:
So much emphasis today is on sustaining so many earthly elements with our exploding population. And while the societal constraints and social bondage, if you will, is perhaps well intended, one never hears about sustaining the spirit. At the core of all eastern spiritualism is the concept of impermanence, life, possessions, all things fleeting, fading and unsustained. Save one…the spirit. On the spirited wings of this freedom rider, there shall be no trespass as only his spirit is truly worth sustaining...an infinite and divine being.
Materials:
Sustainable dried bamboo poles held by silk cord, bound at each end with late 1800's Chinese duck embroidery over bird feathers at top and bottom, accented with four gilded and acid washed pine cones with silk tassels, structure of tapestry created using multi-colored heavy and light gauge wires, with horizon lines of gilded wired bamboo all hand dyed in Lapis Lazuli pigments then gilded at each end, throughout piece, with chocolate feathered threads intertwined, acrylic painted image of equine on heavy watercolor paper veiled in handmade Japanese rice lace, bathed in beeswax and archival polymers, cut into 25 squares, surrounded with 65 squares of late 1800's Chinese embroidery, Akha embroidery and contemporary fabrics all over painted in sky and gold, and bottom bamboo rod adorned with eight mid 1800's Afghani medallions with suspended feathers.
Antique hook cover(not shown) made from a 17th century Chinese Buddhist Lama's lotus crown, topped with mid 1800's wood carving from Indonesia, banded with late 1800's Tibetan embroidery from a child's hat, adorned with feathers, with contemporary silk cord.
