War and Nature: Snowfall Blooming Silk Story Scarf, Wearable Art
6 remaining in edition.
This limited edition, silk twill scarf, is from a photocollage derived from an image of poppy fields and a street scene in Afghanistan. A poet, Carma Lyn Park, wrote the accompanying haiku:
"in the street
poppies are still opening
while snow drifts down"
This manipulated image explores the soaring opium addiction that resulted as an unintended consequence of war: poppy cultivation is too lucrative to stop. The falling snow can indicate a number of things: the cold chill of awakening, debris from bombs, and opium.
This is a limited edition of 15, silk twill scarf.
Size is approximately 52 x 52 inches.
Due to the handcrafted process and inherent nature of the materials used, slight variations in color might be visible from the listed photos. A "story card" accompanies each scarf.
