CAGED

 CAGED is my latest 3D piece.  It refers back to the art quilts I did several years ago on the subject of incarceration.   I came upon a rusty old tomato cage and knew right away that it was crying out to become a piece of art.  I covered it on 2 of its 3 sides with Fosshape to act as a substrate for the textiles and stitching.   To that I applied cheese cloth I'd dyed murky browns.  Then I made warts and knobs and other oddments, mostly hand dyed, that I stitched into place through the open third.  I spray painted the interior when all the stitching was complete.   Getting it to balance was a bit of a trick, but it's very steady now.    It stands just over 2' high.
