The Lost Soles (Souls)

This tapestry was entered into ATA’s STI 5:  Crossroads exhibition which toured to two venues in the US:  August 17 – September 30, 2017 UNT on the Square in Denton, Texas  and Handforth Gallery in Tacoma, WA from November 15 – December 30, 2017.  In Mexico we are constantly finding single broken soles in the dusty streets and at the beach.  Always curious as to who owned them and why they were discarded.  This was my inspiration for the tapestry.  It measures 10.5″ by 9.125″, the warp is cotton seine twine and the wefts include cotton, wool and silk fibres.
