silk for atlanta

This silk artwork was commissioned by a private party as a gift to the Village Church of Dunwoody near Atlanta Georgia. It was completed and shipped in December 2011.

Here are photos of the finished silk artwork. It measures about twelve feet high (center panel) by twelve feet wide.

Too tall to display adequately in my home-studio, here is the silk photographed outside in December.

No, the silk is not quilted. It is single-layer 100% silk habotai, dye-painted with water-based Jacquard dyes and set by steam.

Here the silk colors show brilliantly with back-lighting.
