6" x 6", embroidery on felt, bead embellishment. here is the third piece in my series on the earthquake. this one reflects the moment we are at now, 6 months after the quake. winter is coming to south western China, and this year it is expected to be a cold one, which will lead to even greater vulnerability for the millions who are without permanent housing. Reconstruction has started, but it is a mammoth task and will take several years. In the meantime, many people will need looking after, especially during the cold winter months.
As it was sunny this morning (although way below freezing, with a forecast of "smoky" - you can imagine what that means in Beijing, ugh), I took photos of the first two pieces so you can see the colors better:
the next one, which I am just starting now, is about rebuilding.

These are powerful and emotional pieces. What devastation in both terms of human lives and landscape they represent. Many prayers going out for your ongoing work for the people impacted by this terrible earthquake.
Blessings and peace to you and all you encounter.
I love your felt pieces and the inspiration behind them.
